Mountain Alliance Expands Focus on Dual-Use Defense Tech Start-ups

Mountain Alliance AG is enhancing its strategic focus on the defense technology sector, particularly targeting dual-use start-ups. The company plans to expand its portfolio by investing in business models with potential in areas like drone technology, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.

The Munich-based firm sees significant opportunities emerging due to Europe's shift towards increased defense spending. Current estimates suggest a need for investments between 200 to 600 billion euros annually. CEO Dr. Hans Ulrich Tetzner notes the growing attractiveness of portfolios with dual-use applications amid the evolving geopolitical landscape.

Mountain Alliance AG relies on strategic partnerships and smart financing, leveraging contributions at fair net asset value instead of cash outlays. Chairman Dr. Cornelius Boersch's involvement with innovative companies like Destinus AG and Quantum Systems GmbH provides a solid foundation for this strategic move.
