What you'll learn
- The European Defence Fund was designed to draw smaller undertakings into cross-border defence programmes, and at the same time to help the technologies those undertakings carry reach industrial scale.
- The two purposes are compatible in policy and divergent at company level.
- A software house that wins a place in a multinational consortium becomes, by that fact, a more attractive target for a prime contractor; a sensing or space specialist that proves its technology in a research action must then raise the capital to industrialise it.
