Venture capital fund investing in defence and security technologies across NATO and allies.
GRIF Focus
As global interdependencies increasingly turn into vulnerabilities, western democracies face short and long-term threats — from geopolitical tensions and cyberattacks to climate-related disruptions. These challenges demand a strategic and resilient approach to defence, disaster preparedness, and innovation.
Venture Fund, Resilience, Tech, Europe & NATO Allies
We support tech founders developing disruptive innovations in defence, security, and disaster management. We invest in startups based across NATO countries and allied nations. This is not a hype for us. We are active in this field for years. Our team and extended network bring deep expertise across all relevant sectors.

Global Resilience Innovation Fund completed first investment
The Global Resilience Innovation Fund (GRIF) has completed its first investment in HyImpulse.
HyImpulse was the first German company to successfully launch its SR75 suborbital rocket in Australia in May 2024.
The sustainable hybrid propulsion technology, based on paraffin as fuel, is unique and extremely efficient to the transport of satellites into space. HyImpulse reduces the number of components by around 50%, lowers costs, and increases reliability.
Europe currently depends on non-European launch providers – European are accounting for less than one percent of global launches in 2024 (Space Economy Report 2024). We are convinced that HyImpulse will become one of the key European players in the space sector and are delighted to be part of this future, together with HyImpulse.
