National · Sweden · Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) Test and Evaluation, with the Swedish Armed Forces, FOI and the Swedish Defence University
A recurring test-and-demonstration week where companies prove their solutions against a concrete military challenge at FMV's test ranges, alongside end users, experts and procurement officials from Sweden, NATO and partner countries.
Verified test data from a national range plus face time with Swedish and allied buyers compresses years of market entry into two weeks, and the Vinnova voucher can cover the fee for SMEs.
Danish Ministry of Defence / Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (FMI/DALO)
The single largest pot of near-term Danish defence procurement money, with an explicit invitation for industry to propose what to buy. Speed to fielding is the main selection criterion.
German Federal Government (BMVg and BMI)
One of very few German vehicles paying companies directly for security and defence-relevant research, with multi-million-euro phased contracts. Procurement-law process means longer lead times; watch the partnering events.
Industrial Development Agency (Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu S.A.), Polish state development agency
A flexible state lender willing to bank defence-industry companies that commercial banks often avoid, useful for contract financing and liquidity in scaling defence production. No fixed calls: financing is negotiated case by case.
