XLRTR:

A Structured Approach to the Dual-Use Market

Ocean Autonomy Cluster and NORDSEC Defence and Security Cluster are launching XLRTR, a business development program for companies looking to explore and establish themselves in the market for technology and solutions with both civilian and military applications.

The program takes participants through a structured process that starts with a feasibility study and company analysis to map technology, market position, and growth potential.

Business Development and Growth Strategy
Through XLRTR, companies gain insights into how to develop and adapt their business models to the dual-use market. Innovation and specialization are central, and the program facilitates the development of solutions tailored to various sectors. Participants also better understand regulatory requirements, financing opportunities, and market mechanisms.

Systems, Piloting, and Market Development
Business law, systems, and routines are important elements to ensure that companies have a solid foundation for growth, and testing and piloting ensure that the technology is validated in relevant environments. The program also provides participants with market development and internationalization tools, allowing them to position themselves nationally and globally.

Network, Capital, and Visibility
XLRTR provides access to a broad network of relevant partners and investors, and the program includes strategies for capital raising and commercial scaling. Communication strategy and company development are central to enhancing businesses' visibility and competitiveness in a challenging market.

Who Can Participate?
XLRTR is for technology companies, suppliers, and businesses looking to invest in a market with great opportunities and high demands. The program equips participants with the expertise and the network they need to succeed.

There are some minimum requirements:
