Executive Summary: The Strategic Imperative of Defence MedTech Convergence
The intersection between defence innovation and medical technology (MedTech) represents a fundamental structural shift, moving beyond simple technological spillovers to establish a mutually reinforcing economic and R&D ecosystem. Military Research and Development (R&D) functions as a highly accelerated, high-stakes validation engine, forcing the creation of exceptionally robust, autonomous, and efficient medical capabilities required for assured care in austere and contested environments.
The essential investment thesis rests on the unique value proposition generated by this convergence. Technologies perfected under extreme military constraints, such as advanced trauma care, battlefield robotics, and real-time physiological monitoring, are inherently de-risked and optimised for portability and reliability, fulfilling critical unmet needs in the broader global civilian healthcare...
