The European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) marks a further stage in the progressive rearmament and industrial adaptation of the European Union after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It translates years of fragmented emergency measures and national initiatives into a more structured regulatory and financial framework focused on defence industrial readiness.
Rather than addressing only ammunition shortages or isolated capability gaps, EDIP is conceived as a medium-term instrument to consolidate Europe’s defence technological and industrial base, support joint procurement and sustain a steady ramp-up of production capacity.
