Investor Brief · 2026· Last updated Sept 2026Investor BriefEurope is rearming.Its supply chains are not ready.
We're fixing that.
Skansar proves multi-tier supply chains. Defence first, because that is where the evidence bar is highest.
Download Investor DeckTHE PROBLEM
Defence supply chains run on disconnected systems. Visibility stops at Tier 1. Compliance evidence sits scattered across ERPs, drives and inboxes, and every gap already shows up on the audit.
Skansar connects them into one proof.
THE WEDGE
We make every tier provable.
Start with a manufacturer's own data, BOM, supplier list, certifications. Generate the first EDIP rollup and traceability map in days, not months. No supplier onboarding required for first value. Each supplier the buyer pulls in extends the graph one tier deeper.
THE INSIGHT
The proof already exists. No one has connected it.
A connection problem, not a collection problem, and three new forces the current stack was not built to satisfy.
- 11.
EDIP 2025 turns component origin into an eligibility gate: manufacturers who cannot prove multi-tier origin lose access to EU-funded defence programmes, Regulation (EU) 2025/2643.
- 22.
EU-27 defence spend reached €418B in 2025, up 20% in one year, and is projected at €454B in 2026. Equipment procurement hit €115B in 2025, up 26% in real terms. The tools didn't move.
- 33.
EU-sovereign enterprise cloud is now a reality. No purpose-built evidence layer for EU defence supply chains runs on it.
OUR BETS
- 11.
Defence supply chains will be digitised this decade. Compliance evidence is the entry point.
- 22.
Sovereignty is a market requirement incumbents cannot retrofit.
- 33.
The winner owns the cross-company supply chain graph: who supplies what to whom.
- 44.
Regulation is the go-to-market. EDIP 2025 makes multi-tier origin evidence contractual for EU-funded defence programmes, buyers come looking before any sales team walks in.

EARLY TRACTION
- 11.
Skansar is live at app.skansar.com, running real supply-chain workflows, not wireframes.
- 22.
Skansar selected to join TUM Venture Labs Aerospace & Defense, Europe's leading defence-tech accelerator, Cyber Security stream, validating the problem framing with the sector.
- 33.
Technical architecture reviewed and validated by a former Google engineer, the system design holds up against real-world scale and security demands.
- 44.
Discovery with four defence-tech investors and operators surfaced the same two adoption barriers: enterprise change management and supplier onboarding. Skansar responded by becoming a thin evidence and traceability layer on existing ERP, PLM and MES: value from a buyer's own data, no rip-and-replace, and no supplier onboarding required for first value.
