European defence-adjacent.
You are the customer base — not a vertical we also serve. Qeino's deployment model, Ledger and founder-market fit are shaped to this sector.
European defence-adjacent programmes — dual-use, security-cleared engineering, sovereign capability build — cannot host engineering signals on foreign infrastructure. A delivery slip is a capability slip.
National security clearance regimes, EU dual-use export controls and customer sovereignty clauses require on-soil, on-prem operation. No US or non-EU cloud surface, ever.
Air-gapped on-prem inside the cleared environment. Read-only against the engineering surface. EU-sovereign by construction; no foreign egress path exists.
Qeino is European. The founders understand sovereign procurement and the discipline of building inside cleared environments. Qeino does not represent US defence-adjacent customers and does not operate in that market.
One posture, four regimes.
How this sector sits against the four regimes that matter.
Defence-specific exclusions apply; dual-use posture follows the high-risk regime. Operation remains under the provider's control.
Critical-sector obligations on supply-chain and incident readiness. Qeino's posture is compatible by default.

The bar is rising. The window is short.
European defence and dual-use investment is rising sharply, and so is the requirement that engineering intelligence stay on European soil.
Note: Qeino represents European defence-adjacent customers only. We do not operate in, and do not represent, the US defence-adjacent market.
