Thursday Gathering #256 DEFENCE DEEP DIVE
Mission Possible: Unlocking the Defense Sector
May 7, 2026, 6:30 PM - 7:10 PM GMT+2
at Trend House, Chmielna 73

Entering the defense sector often feels like trying to crack a coded vault—heavy regulations, complex procurement, and high stakes. But with the shift in Europe’s security landscape, the gates are opening for agile innovators.


Join us for a practical deep-dive into the defense market. We’ll start with a concise keynote by Radoslaw Nozykowski (Baker McKenzie) on the "legal must-haves" for startups seeking funding and clients. Then, we’ll move into a candid panel discussion featuring Aleksander Buczkowski (PwC) and Tomas Pozlevic (Frankenburg Technologies).


Whether you’re a founder wondering if your tech has a dual-use application or a corporate player looking for the next big disruption, this session will provide the roadmap to navigating legal obstacles and scaling at "startup speed" in a traditional industry.
