Defence Technologies

Building the technologies that protect Europe’s freedom and deter its adversaries.

In the context of today's geopolitical environments and advancements in frontier technology, the concepts of national security and technological sovereignty have never been more important for Europe.


Project A has a successful track record of backing founders building companies for tomorrow's European military – both dual-use and military equipment. We believe a new generation of Defence tech is required for Europe to protect its democratic freedom and deter adversaries.
