Government and defense sectors are increasingly relying on commercial services, creating promising opportunities for startups in dual-use technology. However, entering this highly regulated and traditional landscape poses a significant challenge for young and agile companies. How can emerging businesses compete with established primes for contracts and attention? And how can investors effectively support these endeavors?
