The Sentinel is live!
We’ve expanded our output and moved to our own platform
When I began writing The Sentinel last year, Substack was the right tool to get started but the ambition was always to build something of our own. My co-founder Jorden van Cann and I, along with Andy Aasen and Bernard Cortesi, have been working hard behind the scenes on the next stage of our development, which I’m delighted now to present.
The Sentinel is a B2B news and information service dedicated to Europe’s rearmament. Today we have migrated our recent coverage onto our own platform, thesentinel.eu, and we will continue to increase and diversify our output in the coming months.
We provide actionable insights from across Europe on our proprietary platform. Subscribers receive customised alerts and can search our database according to topic, capability and jurisdiction. Whether you’re applying for EU funding, scoping out a merger target or assessing the competitive landscape across the continent, our tools guide you quickly to the information you need.
We’ll continue to provide some coverage for free – a mix of reporting from our correspondents across Europe, and opinion and analysis from me and a range of guest writers. Every Friday, I’ll send a newsletter summarising what we’ve published. I’ll no longer post anything here.
This week we have a story from UK correspondent Jonathan Singh on the selection process for the RAF’s new training jet; and an opinion piece from Oleksandr Danyliuk of Destinus, one of Europe’s hottest defence scale-ups, on how disjointed procurement is hindering cross-border growth.
To everyone reading this, thank you for being part of The Sentinel from the very beginning. Stay in touch, spread the word, and I’m looking forward to following this story for years to come.
