Our first direct investment is here. 🚀 iCOMAT's breakthrough manufacturing technology can deliver lighter, stronger and more sustainable cars, planes and spacecrafts - faster and at a lower cost. This can help both strengthen our defence capabilities and reduce emissions. It marks an important milestone in our journey to advance defence, security and resilience for the alliance’s one billion citizens. We're proud to co-lead this round with 8VC alongside Syensqo and Velocity.Partners Venture Capital and look forward to helping build a more resilient and sustainable future together.

Investing in lighter, stronger, and more sustainable materials? That's hitting the trifecta! This iCOMAT investment is smart on so many levels - NATO's showing they're serious about both defense AND the planet's future. Plus, less weight in military vehicles often means more flexibility in the field. This is one to watch, innovation like this tends to have ripple effects far beyond the initial industry.
Such important technology and great to see a strong round for a company in the materials space 👏👏👏 Congratulations Pete Stirling and the team
