Investor Perspectives on European Defence VC & Geopolitical Instability - Sifted

Anne Sraders is reporting for Sifted on the surge in European defence-focused VC funds and the geopolitical instability (such as tensions around Greenland and NATO) that is driving this trend. She references major fundraises and the changing attitudes of LPs to defence investing. She is actively seeking perspectives from investors and related professionals: Background/context: "This week reminded Europeans more starkly than ever that geopolitical instability is here to stay. While Trump seems to have backed off tariff threats regarding his plot to annex Greenland, Europe’s leaders have been clear about the need for the region to focus on bolstering its own sovereignty instead of betting on the benevolence of its powerful ally...That may well translate into even more money flowing into European defence-focused VC funds this year; we may also see funds get bigger." Ask: "I’d love to hear from you, readers: what do you make of the Greenland situation and the escalating instability between the US and Europe? Does this change anything with your strategy and where you’re looking to invest? [url=mailto:[email redacted]]I’m all ears[/url]."
