Strategy Development for Aerospace & Defence .
Strategy Development
European defence spending is rising faster than at any point in a generation, but the opportunities are uneven. Budgets flow through specific programmes, procurement routes and prime contractors, and growth plans only succeed when they reflect that reality. Compass helps aerospace and defence companies, and the investors behind them, define where to compete and how to win.
Who we work with.
Defence and aerospace OEMs and Technology Leaders planning their next phase of growth
Civil and dual-use companies entering the defence market
Private equity owners shaping value-creation plans for portfolio companies
Management teams preparing for a transaction or capital raise
