Accuracy co-sponsored European Defence Week in Paris, an event dedicated to fostering collaboration across the European defence and dual-use innovation ecosystem.
Arthur Couvreur, Director at Accuracy, moderated a panel discussion on the legal aspects of funding dual-use and defence start-ups. The session brought together investors and legal experts to examine the specific challenges associated with financing innovation in a highly regulated and strategic sector.
Discussions highlighted the strong momentum currently observed in the European defence landscape, alongside the need for continued cooperation and adaptable frameworks to sustain innovation. The importance of early alignment between entrepreneurs, investors and advisers was emphasised, particularly in navigating complex regulatory environments and structuring funding processes.
Trust and transparency were also identified as key factors in enabling start-ups to scale and attract investment, especially in a sector where regulatory scrutiny and strategic considerations are central.
These exchanges reflect the growing dynamism of Europe’s defence and deeptech ecosystem, and the role of coordinated efforts in supporting its development.
