Yeah, so TTCP is a firm that's Hamburg based and they will be looking at supply chains, materials, robotics and all kinds of things that are concerned with the defense infrastructure in Europe.
And, you know, the process here, it's been pretty slow.
Russia's full-scale invasion into Ukraine happened nearly four years ago.
And just now we slowly see more and more funds being raised across Europe that are looking at the tech, even though that conflict has shown how important drones become and what kind of, like, modern warfare questions have come up.
Yes.
So a couple of reasons, of course.
So what we've been hearing from our sources is that, for example, DTCP's funds now is being anchored by Porsche, the family holding, and by Deutsche Telekom.
And this marks a massive shift in mentality that these companies are now investing in a fund that potentially will back weapons systems.
So private companies put a lot of restrictions on themselves when it came to weapon investments and also public funds were very slow to adjust.
And at the same time, you know, it's not just the companies.
It's also a market question in terms of if you're looking to develop weapons and military products, then...
you need a founder that has the respective experience.
And you also probably only have one customer, and that is the government, or a government for that matter.
And that's a tough customer to have because the procurement processes are slow and it's very complex.
So I think to come back to DTCP, they kind of like broadened the space that they want to invest in a bit more.
to look at products that are being made for civilian and military technologies and for weapons to kind of like circle around that question.
First of all, over the past three to five years, we've seen really significant breakthroughs in cognitive AI models, but it's not only the AI that is getting better.
