Original editorial analysis. Dual-use startups need demonstrable products and a disciplined compliance model.
The context
My Company Polska reports on Polish companies participating in NATO technology initiatives and on a Warsaw presence for the NATO Innovation Fund.
Our analysis
The strongest founders will separate the technical merit of a product from the complexities of procurement, export controls and certification. Defence-related customers demand high reliability and clear ownership of intellectual property, while civilian applications may follow different timelines.
What to watch
An accelerator place is not the same as a supply contract; founders should keep both commercial pathways clearly documented.
