Defence industry funding: specialised funds and business experience

Place: Sorainen office in Vilnius, Lithuania
Time: 09:00, October 17, 2023
Working language: English

In light of russia’s war in Ukraine, the importance of the defence and security sectors is more apparent than ever, contributing to a shift in views and approaches towards the defence sector and its financing. Once a sector that was, if not “blacklisted”, then at least underrated, it is now set for the influx of public and private financing.

As funding defence-related business is still a novelty, we will cover different methods of financing and share a pair of success stories in the Baltics.

The event will take place on 17 October at the Sorainen Lithuanian office (Gedimino Ave. 44A). Working language: English. The number of places is limited, and so we will close the registration when maximum number of participants is reached.

If you have any questions, please contact us at justina.budziute@sorainen.com.

We are looking forward to seeing you!
