Current geopolitical shifts, reoriented government procurement, and the increasing commercialisation and mass production of security-related technologies are driving a surge in venture capital and private equity investments in this field. The defence sector is subject to a particularly complex and strict legal framework. An investor&#039;s origin and actual influence on the company post-investment are crucial, as even small stakes can be significant if they include veto rights, board seats, or inspection rights. For investors from non-EU or non-NATO countries, the threshold for a \\u201csecurity-critical\\u201d categorisation is particularly low. In many cases, reporting obligations apply from a ten percent holding of voting rights, regardless of influence or company size. The reviews required under foreign direct investment procedures can take several months and demand careful planning. Eligibility under security law is also a key aspect. Government clients require reliability not only from the company but also from its owners and the individuals acting on its behalf. Control rights, such as veto or extensive information rights, can jeopardise eligibility, especially if they allow investors from third countries to access security-relevant information. Solutions include limiting influence\\u2026&quot;,\n            &quot;featured_img_src&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/gsk.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/08\\\/Derlin_Thomas_1985x1280px1-1024x660.jpg&quot;,\n            &quot;id&quot;: 57023,\n            &quot;link&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/gsk.de\\\/en\\\/article-defence-tech-derlin\\\/&quot;,\n            &quot;title&quot;: &quot;Investments in defence tech companies: opportunities and legal considerations&quot;\n        }\n    ]\n}\"\n\tdata-prop-children=\"\"\n><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-component=\"ContactSection\" data-props=\"{\n    &quot;post&quot;: [\n        805,\n        957\n    ],\n    &quot;image&quot;: {\n        &quot;id&quot;: 56104,\n        &quot;title&quot;: &quot;gsk-stockmann-AP-Derlin-Mehlitz&quot;,\n        &quot;filename&quot;: &quot;gsk-stockmann-AP-Derlin-Mehlitz.png&quot;,\n        &quot;url&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/gsk.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/gsk-stockmann-AP-Derlin-Mehlitz.png&quot;,\n        &quot;link&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/gsk.de\\\/en\\\/aerospace-defense\\\/gsk-stockmann-ap-derlin-mehlitz-2\\\/&quot;,\n        &quot;alt&quot;: &quot;Ansprechpartner Thomas Derlin und Jennifer Mehlitz&quot;,\n        &quot;author&quot;: &quot;42&quot;,\n        &quot;description&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;caption&quot;: &quot;&quot;,\n        &quot;name&quot;: &quot;gsk-stockmann-ap-derlin-mehlitz-2&quot;,\n        &quot;status&quot;: &quot;inherit&quot;,\n        &quot;uploadedTo&quot;: 54692,\n        &quot;date&quot;: &quot;2025-11-06T12:19:56.000Z&quot;,\n        &quot;modified&quot;: &quot;2025-11-06T12:20:22.000Z&quot;,\n        &quot;menuOrder&quot;: 0,\n        &quot;mime&quot;: &quot;image\\\/png&quot;,\n        &quot;type&quot;: &quot;image&quot;,\n        &quot;subtype&quot;: &quot;png&quot;,\n        &quot;icon&quot;: &quot;https:\\\/\\\/gsk.de\\\/wp-includes\\\/images\\\/media\\\/default.svg&quot;,\n        &quot;dateFormatted&quot;: &quot;6.
