Europe is waking up! During Balnord Summit, our recent Annual General Meeting, we explored a critical theme: Europe's Technological Autonomy. It was a privilege to hear from our portfolio founders about ways in which their companies are building the future of Europe. In an era where security, resilience, and deterrence are paramount, the time has come for Europe to wake up and proactively build its independent technological capabilities. Investing in frontier and dual-use technologies isn't just strategic — it's the prerequisite to staying competitive and relevant as Europe. At our AGM, we shared our vision and concrete steps towards creating a technologically sovereign Europe. We firmly believe this autonomy is key to building stronger resilience for our nations and safeguarding our collective future. Together with private and institutional investors, we are committed to advancing technological independence and security across Europe. Thank you to all the speakers for all engaging discussions and inspiring everyone to keep building things that matter.  Salim Anbar-Colas, Bartlomiej Samsonowicz, CFA, Jacek Siewiera, Philip Jungen, Peter Bialo, Aleksandra Pedraszewska, Radoslaw Piesiewicz, Sebastian Klaus, Laurynas Mačiulis, Jacek S., Kamil Suda, Dawid Kuchta. Finally, huge thanks to our limited partners for your enduring trust. We're building a movement together. Marcin P.

Developing long-term business relationships is one of the most profitable strategic investments. In today's world, where competition is fierce and customer attention spans are short, stable connections become a primary asset. 1. Economic Benefit and Profitability. Acquiring a new customer typically costs 5 to 25 times more than retaining an existing one. 2. Trust as a Process Accelerator. In long-term relationships, the level of trust is significantly higher, which minimizes the need for excessive control and bureaucracy. 3. Reputation and Word-of-Mouth. Loyal customers don't just buy your service; they recommend you to others. This creates organic growth. 4. Feedback. An honest dialogue can only be built with long-term partners, as they provide the candid feedback necessary to know exactly what needs to be changed and where. 5. Mutual Growth. You are invested in each other's success. As the client grows, you grow; as you grow, the client gains new opportunities through your expanding expertise. Webbylab is 14 years old. In May 2026, our journey with our longest-standing client will also reach the 14-year mark. Two other active clients joined us back in 2013 (nearly 13 years of partnership). Build long-term relationships. They are the ultimate indicator of your stability and productivity

It’s one thing to say that Ukraine’s defense tech is driving a technological revolution on the battlefield — that’s widely acknowledged today. But it’s quite another to identify solutions that are not only battlefield-proven but also have a meaningful civilian application. At Radix Ventures, that is precisely the opportunity we set out to pursue. After meeting dozens of founders from the Ukrainian deep tech ecosystem, we made the decision to support Farsight Vision, whose geospatial digital twin technology transforms how humans and robots perceive and interact with the physical world. Their solutions enable faster, more informed decision-making in complex environments — whether in active theaters of conflict or in civilian crisis and emergency response contexts. This technology has compelling use cases both on the front lines and for broader societal impact beyond defense, making it a strong addition to our portfolio. We’re excited to work alongside the FSV team and our co-investors to build a global success story. #deeptech #dualuse #defensetech #resillience Viktoriia Yaremchuk Volodymyr Nepiuk Wojciech Ratymirski Małgorzata Szcześniak Michał Urbanowski Michal Olszacki Marton Szoke Ragnar Sass
