DefTech
The diversity of innovative single- and dual-use technologies is driving the development of a DefTech ecosystem in the capital region.
Berlin offers an attractive DefTech ecosystem that connects research, startups, industry, and policymakers into a strong innovation network. The Tech Hub SVI Ost currently under development, serves as a collaborative platform that helps single- and dual-use technology providers achieve market readiness and scale successfully.
Berlin offers:
- close proximity to security-related ministries, armed forces commands, and procurement agencies,
- a dense research and startup ecosystem,
- specialized high-tech clusters and technology centers.
The economic development agency Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH coordinates the process in cooperation with the relevant administrative bodies and in close consultation with its partners IBB, WISTA, IHK Berlin and the UVB. More than 130 companies are already active in the region today, underscoring the potential for rapid scalability.
