Join the first European Defence Alliance Reverse Pitch
Are you building an innovative startup or SME in the defence or dual-use sector? Join the first Defence & Dual-use Reverse Pitch organised online by the European Defence Alliance on July 17, 2026.
Unlike a traditional pitching event, this session gives the floor to investors and leading corporates, offering participants a unique opportunity to understand what drives their investment decisions and strategic priorities.
Confirmed speakers include Jean-Claude Climeau (VP Group Treasurer, Thales) and Román Escolano (VC Investor, Prosegur Tech Ventures), who will share the technologies they are actively seeking, their collaboration expectations and the business opportunities emerging across the European defence ecosystem.
During the session, participants will discover:
- Investment strategies and priorities of leading ecosystem players
- The technologies and solutions currently in demand
- Collaboration and partnership expectations
- Funding and business opportunities across Europe’s defence and dual-use ecosystem
Whether you are preparing your fundraising strategy or looking for industrial partnerships, this event will help you better understand market expectations and position your company for future opportunities.
