National · Poland · Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK), under the FENG programme
A blended instrument modelled on BGK's technology credit: the entrepreneur takes an investment credit from a cooperating commercial bank, and after completing the project BGK pays out a non-repayable FENG-funded premium of up to 70% of eligible costs for launching or expanding dual-use production. The instrument was announced on 16 July 2026 with a PLN 400 million allocation.
Effectively a large grant for dual-use production investment delivered through the banking channel, without a weapons-trade licence requirement. Suited to SMEs building manufacturing capacity for dual-use components and products.
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.
Next deadline 6 Oct
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.
