Helsing builds real-time AI software for defense applications, working directly with European armed forces to integrate machine learning into sensor fusion, electronic warfare, and autonomous systems. The company represents a new generation of European defense-tech that prioritizes software superiority over traditional hardware procurement. Its growth is essential to closing the gap between Europe's defense-industrial base and the AI-driven capabilities being developed by US and Chinese military programs.
