AI and Startups Are Radically Transforming Germany’s Defense Sector
Since the war in Ukraine, Europe’s defense landscape has undergone significant changes. Particularly, the German startup Helsing has emerged as a leader in AI and military drone technology. Last month, their valuation surged by 1.5 times, reaching $12 billion, making them the top defense startup in Europe. Helsing’s co-founder, Gundbert Scharf, believes this marks a revolutionary shift in Europe’s defense technology, comparable to the Manhattan Project.
