Total Defence: Startups Shaping Sweden’s Readiness

In a domain often focused on weapon systems and AI, we turn the spotlight on the enablers that can strengthen key capabilities within Sweden’s total defence.
Meet a lineup of startups, including several selected by the Swedish Armed Forces, and learn why you need to partner with them. One hour of pitches mixed with panel discussion.

Pitching startups: Interlinked, Sample Fact, Rivus Batteries, Monava, UMV Dynamics & Intended Future.
Panel discussion: Soon to be disclosed. Led by Johanna Nilsson (Dual Use Acceleration Manager at Innovatum Science Park).

The session is hosted by Innovatum Science Park’s dual-use and defence accelerator.
