 | Investing in The Defense of America Date: May 29 - 30, 2013 Location: Willard InterContinental Washington, Washington, D.C. Organized By: Southern States Business Coalition www.interdimensionaldesigns.com |
Description: As we begin a second term of the current administration, many industry experts believe that defense spending will continue to be cut and that traditional Aerospace and Defense corporations will have to quickly pivot in order to maintain, let alone grow, revenues. Additionally, further spending cuts will place many portfolio companies at a strategic inflection point threatening current values and future realizations, but also providing investment and acquisition opportunities.
However, the cuts in spending on traditional defense strategies coincides with numerous industry reports concluding that the war to defend America has migrated from the battlefield into cyberspace, and as such, the global Cybersecurity market is poised for unprecedented growth. Combine this with the exponential growth (both in terms of the number and severity) in current attacks on private industries such as finance and energy, and the result is a wealth of opportunities for companies able to adapt, and the investors that back them.
