The NATO Innovation Fund is a EUR 1 billion venture capital fund backed by 24 NATO member states, described as the first multi-sovereign venture fund. Headquartered in the Netherlands with regional offices planned for London and Warsaw, it invests in early-stage deep-tech companies working on defence, security and resilience, including quantum, AI, autonomy, advanced materials, energy and space. It can lead or co-invest and also commits to other deep-tech funds across the Alliance. UK portfolio companies include Aquark Technologies, whose EUR 5 million seed round it led in 2024, and Uplift360, which it joined in a EUR 7.4 million seed round in 2026.
