Global investment management platform DTCP today announced the launch of “Project Liberty”, its eighth fund and its first dedicated exclusively to defence, security, and resilience technologies. The fund is independently managed by DTCP and targets institutional investors, family offices, and corporate investors. Its objective is to support the growth of high-performing European defence and dual-use technology companies and to contribute to Europe’s long-term technological capability and security resilience. While Europe remains the clear investment focus, “Project Liberty” may also selectively invest in defence and security technologies from NATO member states and close allies where such investments are strategically relevant to European security interests. ## Investment Focus DTCP has been investing successfully in IT and security technologies for more than a decade. Its existing portfolio focuses on cybersecurity and AI companies, including Arctic Wolf, Axonius, Zenity, Anomali, and Ox Security. This is complemented by dual-use companies such as the German defence tech unicorn Quantum Systems. DTCP plans to invest in up to 30 companies, with average investments of approximately €20 million. The investment focus is on companies that complement existing defence and security systems or advance them through new technological approaches. Key areas of focus include software solutions, cyber defence, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems. ## Background DTCP's initiative comes at a time of increasing focus on security and defence in Europe. International conflicts and growing cyber threats have highlighted the need for significant investments in innovative technologies that can protect critical infrastructure and ensure the safety of citizens. DTCP's initiative could stimulate innovation in the sector and help bridge the gap between European defence capabilities and emerging challenges.
