What this report establishes
“Enabling and Dual-Use Technologies in European Defence: Public Capital as a Strategic Lever for Autonomy and Military Effectiveness” is a sourced, structured Defence Finance Monitor analysis, closed on 14 January 2026. It establishes what is at stake, who the actors are and what it means for European defence funding and industry — drawn only from primary and official sources. This page summarises what the 29-page report determines; the figures, the evidence and the conclusions are in the report itself.
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
Key questions this report answers
- Which enabling and dual-use technologies—advanced sensors, electronics, space systems, cyber, AI and autonomous platforms—does the EU treat as strategic assets?
- How do these cross-cutting technological layers connect, inform and coordinate military forces in contested operational space?
- How can public capital serve as a strategic lever for European autonomy and military effectiveness in these technologies?
