Give democracy the upper hand.
Panop is a new kind of defence startup. We build to, and are built to, defend democracy.
We design, build, and test highly advanced electromagnetic technologies in order to support industry and the governments of nations who seek to uphold the rule of law, the protection of human life, and human rights. But we believe our civic duty extends beyond this, and we actively engage with what that means.
Aristotle said that democracy rests on four pillars:
- rule of law,
- education,
- economic participation,
- civic engagement.
We innovate in hopes of peace, but we engineer to deter. This is the defence of democracy.
We align exclusively with nations that place a high value on the rule of law, and we build the capabilities that let them defend it. A democracy that cannot defend its laws cannot keep them.
We work at the frontier of modern technology. We have a duty to support the next generation as they aspire to where we are today. We support and invest in education initiatives because a democracy that neglects its future generations cannot last.
We are active economic participants who push the boundaries with research and development of sovereign technology, and through creating jobs.
We host hackathons, provide expert advice to decisionmakers and policymakers when called upon, and sponsor STEM initiatives because these are civic acts, not side projects.
