PwC Scale Defence & Resilience Tech Programme
Defence and resilience technologies are becoming increasingly vital as digital threats and global instability reshape the security landscape. Across Europe, the drive for innovation is growing, leading to greater investment in advanced solutions that protect critical infrastructure and ensure safety.
To harness this momentum and meet ongoing demand for innovation, we’re launching the pan-European Scale Defence & Resilience Tech Programme. This equips startups with the tools, expertise, and connections they need to scale their solutions and collaborate with key stakeholders in the defence and resilience ecosystem. The PwC Scale Defence & Resilience Tech Programme helps innovative startups scale faster and contribute to Europe’s security and resilience.
