What this report covers
Technologies: Space, Satellites, Launchers & PNT, Cyber Defense, Information Security & Cryptography, Quantum Computing, Sensing & Communications.

About this report
The formal implementation of the 2026 European Defence Fund (EDF) Work Programme marks a critical evolution in the Union’s approach to the strategic domains of space and cybersecurity. The strategic importance of these two interconnected sectors has reached an unprecedented level within the European security architecture.
Space is no longer a peripheral support domain but a primary theater of geopolitical competition where the survival of terrestrial forces depends on orbital continuity. Similarly, the cyber domain has transitioned into a persistent state of hybrid warfare, demanding a shift from reactive protection to proactive, resilient infrastructures.
Key questions this report answers
- How does the 2026 EDF Work Programme reframe space from a peripheral support domain into a primary theater of geopolitical competition?
- Why does the report argue that the survival of terrestrial forces now depends on orbital continuity?
- What shift from reactive cyber protection to proactive, resilient infrastructures does the 2026 EDF cyber allocation prioritise?
- How should firms position for the interconnected SPACE and CYBER funding streams under the 2026 EDF Work Programme?
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.
