Defense and security.

European defense is rebuilding at speed, and the constraint is not hardware. The question each program office asks: who builds the software layer fast enough, to a standard operators can trust in the field?

The record behind this door: field-grade operational software, built where failure is expensive.

Formist builds the operational layer: command, coordination, logistics, and field software with industrial discipline. The proof is adjacent and real: safety-critical field operations for energy, audit-ready chains of custody, response times cut by 87 percent. The founders carried a next-generation in-flight platform for Thales, inside the French aerospace and defense group. That work was in the cabin, not the field. The hardware stays with the primes; the intelligence layer is ours to build.

01 Brand and commerce Credibility for dual-use companies: the story and the surface which win procurement trust.

02 Products and platforms Command, coordination, and logistics software; field-grade, audit-ready, built to certify.

03 Ventures and new business Dual-use ventures built through the studio, from thesis to working company.

We build the credibility a program office needs to see, and the software it needs to certify.

01 Procurement credibility The identity, the site, and the capability dossier which get a dual-use company taken seriously in the room where budget is decided.

02 Command and coordination Interfaces for situational awareness, tasking, and logistics, designed for degraded links, gloved hands, and long shifts.

03 Evidence as you build Traceability, design rationale, and human factors evidence produced during the work rather than reconstructed for the audit.

04 Dual-use positioning Civil and defense from one platform, positioned so neither market undermines the other.

How it opens.We start with the procurement read: what a program office has to see before it can say yes, and which of it you do not have yet.

This door is new, and it is open on purpose. The first case in this sector is the one we build with you.
