The next bottleneck for European defence may not be weapons. It may be critical raw materials. Without secure mineral supply chains, defence spending does not automatically translate into defence capabilities. Looking forward to discussing this and presenting @Hades at New Age Defence.

That was fun! Thanks for having me @handelsblatt at the TECH 2026 conference. Lots to do to secure our future of Energy and Minerals in Europe but with great people like Carsten Dülfer, @christianmiele , Gideon Schwich we have a fighting chance. Lets goo. Special thanks to @schimroszik for the fantastic moderation.

Wenn selbst die US-Rüstungsindustrie um mehr Zeit bittet, sollten in Europa die Alarmglocken schrillen. Hat Deutschland überhaupt eine Rohstoffstrategie für industrielle Konkurrenz unter geopolitischem Druck? Oder reden wir noch immer über Lieferketten wie vor 10 Jahren? ft.com/content/4d6651e1-17ff…

Zweite Woche bei @Hades. Besuch im Headquater. Der Laser liefert. Industrielle Stärke beginnt in der Mine. Wir bauen die Technologie dafür. Stay tuned.

Wer bei kritischen Rohstoffen abhängig bleibt, wird auch technologisch abhängig bleiben. Deshalb freue ich mich sehr, seit 01.05. bei @Hades zu arbeiten. Rohstoffförderung ist keine reine Industriefrage mehr. Sie ist eine Technologie- und geopolitische Souveränitätsfrage.

1/ We're hiring at @Hades : a Mechanical Engineer and a Robotics & Sensor Fusion Specialist. Both full time. Munich. Starting immediately. 2/ We're building the most powerful drilling system for resource extraction on the planet. Not a prototype. Not a research project. A real machine that goes in the ground and changes what's economically reachable beneath it. 3/ The team around Björn Dressler and @DanGengenbach is one of the strongest groups of engineers and scientists I've ever worked with. We're adding to it now. 4/ In both roles I'm looking for the same thing: people who think from first principles, who are quietly excellent at their craft, and who get genuinely excited about hard problems other people have given up on. 5/ Builder's environment. Fast, ambitious, no politics, no theatre. If you want a comfortable seat at a big company, this isn't it. If you want to do the best work of your career on something that actually matters, keep reading. 6/ No recruiters. No agencies. Please don't. If you want to be considered, DM me with "I WANT IN" and we'll take it from there.

No mines, no missiles. No rocks, no rockets. $8bn went into EU defence startups, with only $1bn of that in the supply chain. We are funding the drone while ignoring how critical the magnet is inside it. I wrote about how we could fix it. Link below 👇

For all our German speaking followers - We just did this incredible podcast at @StartupInsid_er: open.spotify.com/episode/7mY… This is probably the deepest we ever talked about @Hades plans for the future of Mining.

EUROPE!!! We need to talk about critical minerals! No...It can't wait!

Good people of technology. Our biggest Order of Play.
