About Northern Defence Investment Horizon

Why NODIH?

Europe’s defence landscape is entering a decisive decade. The demand for relevant, scalable and operationally proven technologies is rising sharply — and Ukraine is now the world’s most dynamic source of battlefield-validated defence innovation.

Yet access to this ecosystem is limited. Technologies may be proven, but investors need structure. They need disciplined validation. They need transparency, governance and a managed path from first screening to exit.

That is exactly where NODIH operates.

NODIH is a specialised advisory and investment execution partner bridging Nordic and European capital with Ukraine’s most relevant defence and dual-use ventures.
We scout, validate, structure and manage investments on behalf of professional investors — ensuring every case is grounded in operational reality and investor-grade analysis.

We deliver:‍

‍Structured access to battlefield-proven Ukrainian technology
Scouting, screening and direct access to founders, production facilities and operational test data across drones, EW, AI, robotics, sensors and advanced manufacturing.‍
A staged validation process aligned with institutional standards
Technical, financial and operational assessment; market/customer validation; risk mapping; and independent valuation models before anything reaches an Investment Committee.‍
Full orchestration of due diligence and investment execution
We coordinate legal, technical and financial due diligence with specialist partners — and structure deals in line with Western investor expectations.‍
Active post-investment involvement
Milestone-based value-creation plans, production scaling support, certification pathways, NATO/EU market preparation and exit planning.‍
Nordic investment discipline + Ukrainian operational insight
Local presence in Ukraine combined with Scandinavian governance, transparency and capital discipline.

In short:
We connect Europe’s leading investors with Ukraine’s most relevant defence innovation — and manage the full journey from first screening to successful exit.

Why invest through NODIH?

At NODIH, we recognize that the security of Europe depends on innovation that is both proven and adaptable.

Unmatched access to a difficult-to-reach ecosystem: We provide institutional investors with curated, validated and operationally proven ventures that are otherwise inaccessible.
Rigorous, staged due diligence: Every case passes through a structured validation process — from technical assessment to scenario-based financial modelling and external DD orchestration.
Risk-mitigated, evidence-based investment decisions: Independent valuations, milestone-based plans and transparent documentation ensure clarity, discipline and aligned incentives.
Strategic alignment with NATO/EU priorities: We prioritise ventures with clear pathways to Western certification, procurement and industrial partnerships — supporting Europe’s long-term security architecture.
Long-term value creation — not passive investment: We remain actively involved post-investment to support scaling, governance, production readiness and strategic partnerships.
