Defence Innovator Community
The dark forest hypothesis implies intelligent life in the universe is often hostile or indifferent and aims to eliminate other civilisations it encounters to be on the safe side. Increasing geopolitical tensions reflect this "Dark Forest".
We need your brilliance to navigate these threats. Join Dark Forest Defence Innovator Community and leverage our industry networks, defence investor relations and real battlefield veterans, to build the right products and fortify our defence now. Join us in shaping a secure future.
