NSSIF
National Security Strategic Investment Fund (British Business Bank)
About this opportunity
The UK's strategic deep-tech capital for security-relevant tech — dilutive, accessed via a UK entity and its partner funds.
NSSIF is the UK government's corporate-venturing arm for dual-use deep tech, run jointly with the British Business Bank. It invests commercially alongside private backers — directly where the strategic case is strong, and into aligned venture-capital funds — to pull advanced technology into the national-security and defence community. Investees face security vetting and need a UK footprint, so the route runs through a UK entity and its partner funds, and the capital is dilutive.
Eligibility
The UK government's dual-use deep-tech equity fund, investing via UK VCs. Requires a UK footprint; strategic, patient capital.
