>The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has awarded a German startup to develop ground robots for the alliance. Called ARX Robotics, NATO has committed to providing them with €9 million in seed funding through its Innovation Fund (NIF).
>NIF has allocated €1bn to support startups developing deep tech for defense and security applications, marking its second public investment since its launch last year. The first announcement, made last week, was for iCOMAT, a UK startup that develops ultralight composites for the aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors.
