European Defense Industrial Capacity Thesis

Europe is rebuilding the industrial base that defence procurement actually depends on. The opportunity is in the unglamorous middle of the supply chain.

Why this matters

Programme delivery in Europe has been bottlenecked for two decades by lost industrial capacity. Recapitalising the supply chain is now official policy across major European economies. Returns will accrue to the operators that show up with capacity and reliability, not announcements.

Where I focus

Munitions and energetics manufacturing
Critical components, including motors, optics, and sensors
Sovereign electronics and trusted foundry capacity
Logistics and storage assets serving defence procurement
