Webinar: «Tax, Finance, Non-Dilutive Funding & Investment Pathways for Dual-Use»
Scaling a dual-use or military-adjacent technology is different: compliance requirements are higher, cross-border structure matters earlier, and investors expect finance to be “audit-ready” long before scale. Join Crowe for a practical, executive webinar that maps the core financial, tax and funding levers that help DualTech teams grow faster — without creating avoidable legal or financial risk.
- Date & time: June 26, 14:00 (CET)
- Format: online webinar
- Duration: 2 hours
- Registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Vt7prDC0RW6MmkIVz881bg
What we’ll cover:
1) Tax & corporate structuring essentials (cross-border reality included):
- Company setup fundamentals and common pitfalls (holding, ops entity, IP ownership basics)
- VAT/sales tax considerations and cross-border contracting basics
- R&D and innovation incentives (how to assess eligibility and documentation readiness)
- Transfer pricing and related-party transactions: what founders should not ignore
2) Financial foundations investors and grantors expect:
- Financial reporting that scales: management accounts, burn/runway discipline, KPI system
- Budgeting & forecasting for hardware + software + regulated markets
- Internal controls, governance, and “due diligence readiness” (what gets checked first)
3) Non-dilutive funding (grants) & “fit” logic:
- How to evaluate whether a grant is worth pursuing (effort vs impact, readiness indicators)
- Typical documentation requirements and common rejection reasons
- Building a funding roadmap that combines non-dilutive + commercial traction
4) Investment pathways and readiness:
- Funding options: angels/VC, strategic investors, venture debt, government-backed instruments (where applicable)
- Term-sheet basics founders should understand early (economics, control, downside risk)
- Preparing an investor-ready finance pack: model, assumptions, unit economics, risk narrative
5) Compliance lens (high-level, non-technical):
- Export controls & sanctions awareness: how they affect structure, customers and partnerships
- Contracting & procurement considerations in defence-adjacent markets (what to plan for)
Panel Discussion:
The expert presentations will be followed by a separate panel discussion with 3 investment funds actively investing in dual-use technologies. The discussion will focus on the key investment-related challenges dual-use teams face when scaling internationally.
Who should attend:
Founders, CEOs/COOs, CFO/finance leads, BD/strategy leaders, and operations managers from dual-use, defence, security, robotics, AI, comms, aerospace, sensing, cyber, and advanced manufacturing teams — especially those preparing to scale internationally or raise capital.
What you’ll leave with:
- A clear funding & finance map for DualTech growth (tax + finance + grants + investment)
- A practical readiness checklist (finance pack + governance + documentation)
- Guidance on common deal and compliance pitfalls that slow down fundraising and partnerships
- Live Q&A with Crowe experts (within the limits of general guidance)
