National · Poland · Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP), under the FENG programme
A FENG-funded PARP call selecting accelerator operators to run development programmes for Polish deep-tech startups, with an explicit dual-use orientation: minimum 30% of each portfolio must be startups with civilian-military dual-use solutions. The call was announced on 9 July 2026 with a PLN 30 million allocation covering startup support and up to 25% operator costs.
The main national acceleration route for early-stage dual-use startups; founders should watch which operators win and apply to their programmes from late 2026. Accelerators and innovation hubs can apply directly now.
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.
