The innovation and venture community continues to pivot towards supporting national security needs. When we started the NGA Accelerator in 2020, we were one of few. It is exciting to see more activity and an investment surge. I think we are going to see more and more investment dollars backing startups with #NatSec missions. #DefenseTech

Given the past months weather events combined with the largely mainstream media ignored Wyoming super fire I can't help but think all our #AeroGear portfolio products could bring great synergy to the value proposition outlined here in solution sets from #RoGOCommunications. Think about the rugged location applications sets that could be developed, tested & deployed & then combined with the data collection & communication products described here. Now overlay all that with real heavy lift drone capability to field life saving success stories. https://lnkd.in/g4hSYbhn #flyingisntflightest 

NATO Allies Invest in European Tech Innovators A consortium of NATO allies has confirmed the first tranche of companies awarded funding as part of the group’s €1 billion innovation fund. Launched in the summer of 2022, the NATO Innovation Fund (NIF) aims to invest in technologies that enhance defense capabilities. The fund, backed by 24 NATO member states including recently joined Finland and Sweden, has directly invested in four European tech companies. The investments include Fractile, a London-based computer chipmaker focused on accelerating large language models, and Germany's ARX Robotics, known for designing unmanned robots for heavy-lifting and surveillance. British manufacturer iCOMAT, specializing in lightweight materials for vehicles, and Space Forge, a Welsh company developing in-orbit semiconductors, also received funding. “Enabling access to strategic technologies is key to securing a safe and prosperous future for the alliance's one billion citizens,” said Andrea Traversone, the fund's managing partner. NIF has also partnered with venture capital firms Alpine Space Ventures, OTB Ventures, Join Capital, and Vsquared Ventures to further support deep tech investments across Europe. #TechInnovation #NATO #DefenseTech #Investment #DeepTech #EuropeanStartups #AI #Robotics #MaterialsScience #SpaceTech

We at SpaceWASH Gesellschaft believe accomplishment in Human Space Exploration and Human Space Colonialization is linked to affordable and scalable Life Support solutions. Access to water and sanitation is a human right. Without water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), people’s well-being, dignity and opportunities are severely compromised, particularly that of women and girls. Above challenge needs solutions on earth, and we at SpaceWASH Gesellschaft can help. We believe WASH principles will apply for mankind in space as well, even today in space - WASH management is rather restricting, and complementing new solutions like our water disinfection solution aiming to improve living in space and/or habitats on moon or mars one day. #SpaceTech #Sustainability #Innovation #AqualunarChallenge #WaterPurification #GlobalCollaboration
