EXHIBIT A — Presentation Summary For investors who prefer a written overview of the April 2, 2026 Emerging Growth Conference presentation by Doug Davis, Executive Chairman and CEO of VisionWave Holdings, Inc.

Company Overview VisionWave Holdings (NASDAQ:VWAV) is a software-driven autonomous systems company focused on providing intelligence and speed to unmanned vehicles across air, land, and sea. Founded in July 2025 through a SPAC business combination, the Company listed on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 15, 2025 and secured $50 million in initial funding the following day. VisionWave operates through two divisions: a Defense & Aerospace Group and a Commercial Group, the latter launched at the start of 2026.

Dual-Market Strategy The Company's dual-market approach is designed both to maximize the addressable opportunity and to mitigate risk. A shared core IP and development layer sits underneath both divisions, enabling technology developed for defense to be adapted for commercial applications and vice versa. Mr. Davis noted that the civilian autonomous systems market is actually larger than the defense market, making the commercial division a significant long-term opportunity.

Core Technology Pillars

Stratum™ A generic operating system for unmanned vehicles (UXVs) that manages individual vehicles or entire fleets and integrates with command-and-control systems for defense or dispatch/ERP systems for commercial operators.
VisionRF™ An RF-based sensing technology currently in active development for 4D real-time imaging through walls, buildings, and other structures. Described as a significant advancement over infrared imaging, it enables full spatial mapping of environments including objects without heat signatures.
qSpeed™ (QuantumSpeed™) A quantum-computing-inspired software acceleration platform designed to run on today's CPUs and GPUs. Early lab results indicate image rendering speeds 20–30 times faster than conventional processing. The Company holds a $10 million statement of work for its development into a commercial computational platform.

Acquisitions & Strategic Investments Since formation, VisionWave has completed four transactions:

VisionWave Technologies Inc. The SPAC merger target; the primary channel to the global defense marketplace and the developer of the Stratum platform.
Solar Drone (wholly owned, acquired Q4 2025) A commercial-stage company using drone-mounted payloads to clean solar panels and inspect high-tension electrical infrastructure. Currently operating in Israel with approximately 50 systems deployed in Italy and a new purchase order from Mexico for surveillance applications.
C.M. Composite Materials (CMFBM) (definitive was entered, no closing yet) The largest privately owned composite materials manufacturer in Israel at the time of acquisition, supplying materials for drones, missiles, and defense platforms globally, including past supply to Boeing.
SaverOne A partial strategic investment with a pathway to 51% controlling interest, bringing RF technology capable of detecting mobile phone signals through or around vehicles, with applications in both commercial fleet safety and defense.

Revenue Model VisionWave's current revenue is at an early, initial-contract stage. In defense, the typical path runs from paid pilots to non-recurring engineering (NRE) engagements to full system rollouts, with longer-term ambitions to transition to a licensing model. In commercial, revenue is generated through hardware system sales with multi-year support contracts. The Company does not yet have meaningful recurring revenue but sees licensing as the primary long-term model.

Recent Commercial Milestone On the day of the presentation, VisionWave announced a signed purchase order from Versatilidad, a Mexican company contracted by a state government in Mexico, to deploy drone-based surveillance systems at World Cup matches in June 2026 with the goal of expanding to broader state and national government use thereafter.

Strategic Partnerships & Advisory Board VisionWave has signed a memorandum of agreement with a U.S. Tier-1 defense contractor with approximately $9 billion in revenues (name undisclosed due to NDA), and has conducted a paid pilot with a $13 billion UAE-based arms manufacturer. The Company's advisory board includes a retired U.S. Ambassador, a former UK Member of Parliament and armed forces officer, and Vice Admiral Eli Marom, former Commander of the Israeli Navy.

Geographic Focus VisionWave operates with a global footprint, with staff in the U.S., Canada, UK, France, Israel, and Germany. Strategic emphasis is placed on Israel and North America as primary innovation and commercial hubs, with significant activity also underway in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East.
