National · Norway · Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (Forsvarsmateriell) / Norwegian Ministry of Defence
Grant scheme created after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine to expand Norwegian production capacity for defence materiel.
This is Norway's main direct-subsidy channel for defence production scale-up, and from 2026 it opens beyond the three launch companies to the wider supplier market. Suppliers positioned in the priority areas should track the 2026 regulation closely.
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.
