🇩🇪 #Germany plans to nearly TRIPLE its #DefenseBudget to €162B/year by 2029 — and it’s betting big on startups. From AI robots to cyborg cockroaches, Berlin is pushing frontier tech. So unicorns like @HelsingAI and ARX Robotics now advise the government alongside giants like @RheinmetallAG. With high energy costs and sluggish exports, defense R&D could become Germany’s new growth engine. Strong defense could mean a strong economy, if Berlin plays it just right. #DefenseTech #EUEconomy #Bundeswehr @reuters_csteitz, @reuterssarah, and @Tech_Correspond for @Reuters.
