National · Denmark · Innovation Fund Denmark (Innovationsfonden)
Innobooster is Innovation Fund Denmark's rolling grant programme for innovation projects in SMEs, assessed in application periods spread across the year.
The lowest-friction national grant for a Danish defence or dual-use SME, with decisions in weeks rather than months. It doubles as an entry point into the Defence Tech Denmark accelerator.
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.
