Defence industry fireside chat x sTARTUp Day 2025

Setting foot in the defence industry: ample opportunities up for grabs

As the defence industry experiences rapid development, driven by the urgent realisation in many countries of the need for robust self-defence, a growing number of entrepreneurs are considering entering or shifting their operations to this sector. Opportunities for setting foot in the industry are ample, and the entry barrier is not necessarily so high depending on your product or idea.

In this session, we will explore the case study of Sunly, once a startup itself now a pre-seed & seed investor in cleantech, electrification and resilience startups.
