About this report
The EU’s 2021–2027 financial framework channels large budgets into defence , digital transformation , dual-use capabilities , and emerging technologies . New instruments have been created or expanded in response to strategic priorities (e.g.
support for Ukraine and technological sovereignty) and the COVID recovery. The European Defence Fund (EDF) , InvestEU , the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP) , and IRIS² (secure satellite communications) are flagship mechanisms for defence and dual-use R&D and production.
Key questions this report answers
- How do the EDF, InvestEU, ASAP, and IRIS2 instruments each channel the 2021-2027 budget into defence and dual-use capabilities?
- What role does the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP) play in scaling EU ammunition output?
- How do STEP and Cohesion flexibility coordinate across the flagship instruments of the 2021-2027 financial framework?
- How can a firm navigate the overlapping EDF, Horizon Europe, Digital Europe, and Connecting Europe Facility mechanisms to fund a dual-use project?
