🚀 How Europe & USA is welcoming Defense Tech Startups and will Bangladesh follow it? 🚀 Recent developments highlight the remarkable growth of defense tech startups. 🛡️ Shield AI, a notable player in the sector, has recently secured $300M in funding, elevating its valuation to $2.8B. Their focus on autonomous flying systems for the US military underscores the innovative strides being made in the field. 🇺🇸✈️ Similarly, Anduril Industries, founded by Palmer Luckey, has raised an impressive $2.2B and is on track to generate over $200M in revenue this year. Their ambitious goal to become a leading name in defense technology, competing with industry giants like Lockheed Martin, is supported by advancements in AI, quantum computing, and more. 💡 These success stories prompt an important question: Can European defense tech startups achieve similar success like USA? With recent commitments to increased investment in defense technologies from European countries and a $1B NATO fund dedicated to backing defense tech startups, the potential for disruption is significant. However, the challenge remains whether Europe's ecosystem will nurture the bold, innovative spirit seen in American counterparts or if investments will continue to flow toward traditional, slower-moving incumbents. 🇪🇺 Bangladesh, on the other hand, has hardly any eco-system of Defence Technology seemingly has a bunch of defense-tech companies like ANTS, DhumketuX, SIGMIND. Unlike European or American startups, Bangladeshi Defence tech Startups seems to struggle to contribute to the right place the companies intended to. The future of whole defense tech is at a pivotal moment. The market demand for local tech solutions is evident, but will the system support the rise of Bangladeshi Startups equivalent to Europeans or Amecians? 🤔🌍 Inspired from article by Inaki Berenguer : https://lnkd.in/g2_ccPWc #DefenseTech #Innovation #EuropeanTech #Startups #FutureOfDefense #AI #TechRevolution
