Karl Rosander

Karl Rosander is a serial tech entrepreneur and investor, best known as the co-founder of Acast, the global podcasting platform. In 2022, he co-founded Nordic Air Defence (NAD), a Stockholm-based defence technology company focused on developing cost-effective drone interception systems. Under his leadership, NAD launched the Kreuger 100, a drone interceptor designed for military and civilian applications.

The Kreuger 100 replaces traditional hardware with advanced software, making it ten times cheaper to produce than conventional systems and allowing for large-scale manufacturing. Rosander emphasises the importance of European self-reliance in defence technology, aiming to reduce dependence on international supply chains.
