The Defence Technological and Industrial Bases is indispensable for maintaining peace and security. After all, it provides an armed force with services and equipment. If it does not, the armed forces are left hobbled. This also applies to the Dutch armed forces. Nevertheless, the defence and security sector is experiencing difficulties in accessing private finance. Referring to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, companies in the sector would not be able to access private financing from pension institutions, insurers and financial service providers. Because of the same criteria, the sector is experiencing difficulties in opening accounts with private banks. Below is summary on the current state of the issue.

LiFi is a technology that uses 'light' to transmit data instead of using conventional radio waves. LiFi is attracting attention as a future communication technology that can complement or replace the widespread WiFi. LiFi will be applied for the first time in the civil aviation industry and bring great innovation to in-flight communication and entertainment. LiFi's ultra-connectivity, ultra-security and ultra-resiliency are key elements that will enable LiFi technology to 'spin-on' to the defense industry.
