Defence and Dual-Use Investment Zone

The Defence and Dual-Use Investment Zone Conference aims to create a platform for cooperation between zone investors, industry, financial institutions,
the scientific and research community and public administration. Its purpose is also to inspire entrepreneurs to take advantage of new investment opportunities
arising from legal changes and growing expenditure on national security. 

The event has been planned as a practical expert and business forum, comprising four thematic panels during which participants will:

•     learn about specific support mechanisms for investments in the defence and dual-use sector,

•     discuss the potential of key defence and dual-use technologies,

•     learn about the options for financing projects through the SAFE programme and institutions such as ARP and BGK,

•     find out how to build competences, obtain licences and certificates, and prepare a company for cooperation with the Ministry of Defence.

Please confirm your attendance by registering for the event by 3 March 2026 at: https://forms.kssse.pl/obronnosc/

We also encourage you to pass the invitation on to your colleagues!
