Baltic Nation Partners with Venture Capital Firm to Accelerate Defense Tech
Estonia has signed a three-year agreement with European defense venture capital firm Archangel to accelerate the development and testing of defense technologies. The Estonian Defence Forces will provide insight into military requirements, while Archangel will engage with defense technology companies and investment opportunities across the Baltic region. The partnership aims to connect defense users more closely with companies and investors as new technologies move from development toward adoption. Estonia is also increasing spending on defense capabilities, with plans to spend 2.4 billion euros in 2026, and is attracting foreign investment to expand its domestic defense industry, as reported by Unknown Source.
