National · Poland · Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP), under the FENG programme (Priority 5, STEP)
The investment leg of the STEP – Obronność package, run by PARP, co-finances capital expenditure in the manufacturing of defence technologies: new production lines, facility expansion, production scaling and quality control. It complements the NCBR R&D tracks announced in the same FENG schedule window.
One of very few Polish grant instruments funding defence production CAPEX rather than R&D. Relevant for companies scaling manufacturing of munitions, components or defence systems.
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.
