MILInvest — equity and acceleration for defence and dual-use companies
ILTE, deployed by fund manager ScaleWolf
Lithuania's dedicated defence and dual-use venture instrument, run by fund manager ScaleWolf with an acceleration component. Open to micro, small and medium enterprises creating, manufacturing or supplying defence or dual-use products and services, and also to individuals developing business ideas in that space, which makes it one of the few routes available before incorporation. A successor fund of EUR 40 million has been announced but has no manager or application route yet.
