April 10 (Reuters) – U.S. private equity firm Warburg Pincus has launched an investment platform focused on Europe’s defence and security sector, with MEAG, the asset manager of reinsurer Munich Re, joining as an early investor.
The initiative reflects what the firms described as sustained policy support and structural drivers of defence spending in Europe, as governments move to strengthen military capabilities, resilience and strategic sovereignty.
