With unprecedented defense spending commitments and a clear focus on innovation, the U.K. faces a critical question:How large of a role should private capital play? Host Jason Hewitt is joined by Air Marshal Andrew Turner, CEO of Saibre Capital and Space4Sight, and Mark Wheatley, founder of Delano Wheatley Consulting and DWC Technology. Together, they delve into the opportunities and challenges for private investment in the U.K.’s defense sector, with a particular focus on emerging dual-use technologies that bridge civilian and military applications.
The discussion highlights the evolving attitudes toward ESG in defense investment, the need for politically aligned and patient capital, and the critical interplay between security and prosperity in a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.
