ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A transatlantic investment firm focused on defense, energy and critical infrastructure technologies has opened its U.S. office in Old Town Alexandria, the company announced Monday.

ScaleWolf, which describes itself as a dual-use investment and operational platform, is setting up at 1 Wales Alley. The firm invests in what it calls dual-use technologies — those operating at the intersection of commercial markets and national security — across defense, energy infrastructure, secure data systems, industrial resilience and mission-critical systems.

"Opening our Alexandria office represents an important milestone in ScaleWolf's long-term strategy to build a premier platform for dual-use investment and operational scale," said David Harden, co-founder and managing partner. "The Washington region provides unparalleled access to government stakeholders, institutional capital, mission-focused industry partners, and emerging technology ecosystems shaping the future of allied resilience, infrastructure modernization, and defense innovation."

The firm says its focus is on technologies capable of addressing NATO-aligned capability gaps while generating commercial value, with the Alexandria office serving as a hub for capital formation, investment partnerships, portfolio support and engagement with government, defense and industry stakeholders.

Co-founder and managing partner Edvinas Kerza framed the U.S. expansion as a transatlantic bridge. "We see a generational opportunity emerging at the intersection of national security priorities, infrastructure modernization, and strategic capital formation," he said. "Strengthening our U.S. presence allows us to better connect transatlantic investors, operators, and technology companies building resilient capabilities for allied markets."

Harden said the firm chose Alexandria for its proximity to both the defense and capital ecosystems. "Alexandria has become a center of gravity for mission-driven innovation, strategic capital, and public-private collaboration," he said. "This office strengthens our ability to work directly with founders, investors, operators, and policymakers building the next generation of resilient infrastructure and strategic technology platforms."

The new office will support strategic investment partnerships across defense, energy and infrastructure sectors; capital sourcing for dual-use and frontier technology companies; engagement with institutional investors and allied stakeholders; and operational scaling initiatives across energy, defense, digital infrastructure and industrial systems.
