Why GBH Capital has an advantage in security.

Capital is the investment platform. Its advantage comes from assessing opportunities through the market, the customer and operating experience from GBH Defence, Cyber, Bunker, Academy and Partners.

Why Europe

Security has become a budget priority.

Defence, cybersecurity and critical infrastructure are no longer peripheral. Capital is moving where governments and businesses need resilience.

Why now

New rules are raising resilience requirements.

Czech Acts No. 264/2025 and 266/2025 govern cybersecurity and critical-infrastructure resilience duties.

Why GBH

Capital draws on the operating divisions' experience.

GBH Defence, Cyber, Bunker, Academy and Partners contribute experience from security services, construction, training and operations.

Sector map

Six sectors, one security market.

Drones, security software, cybersecurity, defence technology, data centres and shelter infrastructure form one connected investment map.

An asset you can touch.

Capital does not finance presentations, but concrete, steel and armouring. A short look at shelter construction delivered by the GBH Bunker division.

We support start-ups with a genuine opportunity to grow.

GBH Capital can support founders as the GBH Group's investment platform. We select projects based on their market, team, specific milestone and connection to the Group's security practice.

Selective support

Not everyone. Only those who stand up to scrutiny.

A start-up must fit the GBH Group's security, defence, cybersecurity or infrastructure direction.

Security direction Initial validation Capital plan

We invest only where a team demonstrates market need, initial traction and disciplined use of capital.

We seek a narrow intersection: a strong team, verified problem, security direction and capital tied to a specific milestone.

01

Verified problem

It solves a specific customer need, not just a technology looking for a use.
02

Capable team

The founders can deliver, respond under pressure and accept the operating reality of the market.
03

Initial market traction

We see validation through a pilot, customer, partner, demand or a clear sales channel.
04

Capital discipline

The funding has a specific purpose, milestones and a route to another measurable result.

Hardened earth-covered ammunition storage — Infrastructure

Projects must fit a market where the Group understands operations.

Investment documents ready for signature — Documentation

Support begins only once the purpose of capital is clear.

Counter-drone protection, civil protection and shelters, critical infrastructure, cybersecurity and defence technology: five themes supported by public sources and operating-division experience.

Counter-drone protection

Counter-drone protection combines detection, identification and measures against uncrewed systems. MarketsandMarkets forecasts European market growth through 2030, while the Czech Armed Forces publicly describe the development of their own counter-drone capabilities.

3 % HDP planned Czech defence spending by 2030

Defence technology

The Czech Government plans to raise defence spending gradually to at least 3% of GDP by 2030. The EU's SAFE instrument also provides up to €150 billion in long-term loans for joint defence procurement. This public context does not guarantee the return of any specific investment.
