Investor interest in defense is growing, but capital still isn’t reaching some of the critical capabilities, supply chains, and technologies that matter most. Join Eric Fanning, President and CEO of AIA, and Michael Sion, a Partner in Bain & Company’s Aerospace & Defense practice for a discussion of the new report, The State of Investment in Defense. They’ll unpack why investment gaps persist despite growing enthusiasm for the sector, what’s preventing capital from flowing where it’s needed most, and the conditions that could help unlock greater private investment across the defense industrial base.
