Lockheed Martin Ventures opens London office to invest $100M in UK and Europe defense tech startups

Lockheed Martin Ventures, the $1 billion venture capital arm of Lockheed Martin, is expanding into the UK and Europe with a new London office. It plans to invest at least $100 million in defense technology startups to strengthen transatlantic defense capabilities and supply chains. This move follows a recent increase in the fund's capital from $400 million to $1 billion, aiming to support early-stage innovations and meet growing demand for sovereign defense solutions in Europe. The expansion will also enhance collaboration with allied customers and accelerate technology integration into defense platforms.
