GW Defense Invest

GW Defense Invest is a long-term investment partner for medium-sized companies in the European defense industry. We focus on succession solutions and growth financing in the defence sector. We bring decades of experience in the defense industry, corporate management and transaction structuring to the table. Our network includes large defense companies, procurement authorities relevant to the German Armed Forces and NATO institutions – and we use it specifically to enable growth and open up new market opportunities. Our approach is strategic, collaborative and measured. We support management as a sparring partner on an equal footing – without interfering in day-to-day operations. Our capital comes from entrepreneurial families and wealthy individuals. Unlike traditional private equity funds, we are not subject to rigid fund terms. This allows us to invest for the long term, knowing that the cycles of the defense industry place special demands on capital and time. We understand these dynamics and act accordingly in a sustainable, reliable and entrepreneurial manner.
