About this report
A landmark EU-UK defence agreement is poised to open major bidding opportunities for British companies on EU-funded military projects and vice versa, signaling a new era of post-Brexit security cooperation.
Brussels and London have been finalizing a security and defence partnership that would effectively treat the UK as an “eligible European” participant in the EU’s ambitious €150 billion defence investment plan (the SAFE fund). This deal, expected to be unveiled at the first EU-UK summit on security in May 2025, will remove barriers that previously barred UK defence firms from accessing EU procurement programs after Brexit.
Key questions this report answers
- How would the EU-UK defence agreement treat the UK as an eligible European participant in the EUR 150 billion SAFE defence investment plan?
- What bidding opportunities would the deal open for British firms on EU-funded military projects, and for EU firms in reverse?
- Which post-Brexit barriers that previously barred UK defence firms from EU procurement would this partnership remove?
- Why is the agreement, expected at the first EU-UK security summit in May 2025, described as a new era of post-Brexit security cooperation?
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.
