National · Estonia · Estonian Business and Innovation Agency (EIS / Enterprise Estonia), EU co-financed
A EUR 23.8 million grant measure opened by EIS in early March 2026, funded from reallocated EU cohesion money, to move Estonian defence companies from prototype to industrial production.
At up to EUR 3 million per company this is the deepest non-dilutive product-development pot in the Baltic defence market. The mandatory EIS pre-consultation means you should start the conversation well before drafting the application.
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.
