Focus Areas
Adfulcrum works at the intersection of capital, technology, and procurement — in the sectors and geographies where the defence landscape is actively being reshaped.
Commercial and defence aerospace markets, MRO, systems integration, and the supply chains supporting European aerospace primes.
Ground systems, munitions, fuze technology, C4ISR, and the enabling components underpinning European rearmament.
Advanced materials, sensors, autonomy, and secure communications with both civil and military application pathways.
Deal sourcing, portfolio company BD support, and market intelligence for VC/PE funds active in European defence tech.
Inward investment attraction strategy and pipeline development for agencies and governments targeting defence sector FDI.
Programme supply chain mapping, distributor landscape analysis, and tier-1/tier-2 qualification support for NATO programme primes.
What We Do
Every engagement is hands-on and outcomes-focused. We provide a range of commercial and strategic advisory services to companies and investors operating in defence and dual-use technology markets across Europe and beyond.
Opening doors in European defence markets for companies that lack the local network. From initial market assessment through to contract pipeline development and in-country representation.
Non-executive director and senior advisory roles for companies seeking defence sector expertise at board level — bringing strategic judgement and industry relationships to scale-up and growth-stage businesses.
Providing VC and PE funds with proprietary deal flow in European defence tech — including pre-market opportunities, sector mapping, and target identification in dual-use technology verticals.
Embedded BD and commercial support for defence tech portfolio companies — helping them navigate procurement processes, build distributor relationships, and qualify into major programme supply chains.
Working with investment promotion agencies and government bodies to develop and execute targeted FDI attraction campaigns in the defence technology sector, from pipeline mapping to investor engagement.
Supporting defence tech founders with go-to-market strategy, investor introductions, and early-stage fundraising — bridging the gap between technical capability and commercial readiness.
Who We Are
