DDTG identifies, evaluates, structures, partners with, develops and scales defence technology businesses, with a primary focus on established companies at TRL 7–9.
DDTG is a European defence technology investment and corporate development group, headquartered in Denmark. Its primary focus is established defence technology companies at TRL 7–9, working with technology companies and partners throughout Europe, including Ukraine.
A working system has been demonstrated in realistic operating conditions. The work shifts from proving the concept to preparing for production.
The full system is complete and has been tested and qualified. The focus is production readiness, certification and first customers.
The system is in operational use. The focus is production capacity, commercial growth and entry into new markets.
In business terms, TRL 7–9 means the technology works and has been shown to work in realistic conditions. The remaining questions are commercial: who will buy it, who will build it at scale, how it is certified and financed, and which partners are needed to deliver it. DDTG concentrates its effort on those questions.
DDTG engages through the structure that fits the company and the opportunity. Several are often combined.
Strategic equity participation
Ownership positions in companies with credible commercial potential.
Acquisitions
Acquiring or combining businesses and capabilities that strengthen a technology position.
Joint ventures
Shared structures with technology developers and industrial partners.
Industrial cooperation
Manufacturing, integration and supply partnerships across Europe.
Commercial development
Customer, channel and partner development that turns technology into revenue.
International market entry
Structured entry into European, NATO and allied markets.
Investment introductions
Introducing companies to suitable investors and financial partners.
Potential strategic exits
Strategic sale or other transactions where they serve the business and its owners.
DDTG's contribution is commercial, industrial and structural. It follows a consistent six-step approach, adapted to each opportunity.
