Defence Builder Accelerator took part in GLOBSEC Forum 2026 — one of Europe's leading strategic security and foreign policy events, bringing together heads of state, senior NATO and EU officials, policymakers, and industry leaders.

The Accelerator's team contributed to discussions on strengthening Europe's defence industrial base — specifically, how to better integrate startups and agile innovation into the continent's security infrastructure, and how civil society engagement can support a more resilient defence ecosystem.

For Defence Builder's portfolio companies, participation at this level means direct access to international decision-makers and greater visibility for combat-validated Ukrainian defence tech solutions on the global stage.
