Mit Krieg Geld verdienen? Der Boom von Defense Tech erklärt

22 June 2026, with Joël Kaczmarek, Carolin Raspé and Frederik Gärtner

Summary

This episode is in German.

Caroline Raspé, partner for regulatory compliance, and Frederik Gärtner, partner for VC and M&A at the law firm YPOG, examine the defence tech boom, in which European investments have risen from around 300 million to over 5 billion euros since the start of the war in Ukraine. The Money Monday episode maps the regulatory minefield of export controls, sanctions law and criminal liability. It covers the four product classes from civil to weapons of war, investor clauses, the 10 percent threshold at which foreign investors can block a closing, and customs declarations.
