“Thanks to Tech Tour Defence in Paris, we now know that an important number of great European deeptech start-ups are ready to bring value to the defence market. These are good news for our continent.”

Pascal Lagarde
Executive Director
BPI France

“Defence Tech is fast developing into a significant deeptech vertical, driven by powerful tail winds. TechTour's Defence Tech event in Paris provided me with an opportunity to survey the current landscape and to meet some of the most exciting companies operating in this field today.”

Catherine Lewis La Torre
Board Director and Chair
HSBC Innovation Banking

“Tech Tour Defence was an excellent opportunity to meet start-ups, investors, industry and others from across the defence technology ecosystem in Europe. I was extremely impressed with the calibre of the attendees and the level of debate. It will certainly feature in the NATO Innovation Fund’s diary for 2026.
