FMI's co-financing scheme (medfinansieringsordningen) funds defence-relevant R&D projects carried out by Danish companies and research institutions together with FMI. It serves both as a national R&D instrument and as the standard channel for Danish national co-financing of EDF and EDIDP projects. New application rounds open on an ongoing basis, typically in January and September, and are announced on FMI's website.
For Danish companies in EDF consortia this is the mechanism that tops up EU funding with national money. Expect the next round announcement around September in the usual cycle.
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.
