On 15 April 2026, the European Commission disclosed it will invest EUR 1.07 billion into 57 defence projects selected following the 2025 calls under the European Defence Fund. These projects are intended to bolster the European Readiness Flagships, aiming to enhance the European Union's defense capabilities.
The funding represents a significant allocation towards developing and supporting various defence technology and capability initiatives across Member States. The evaluated projects span different segments of defence readiness and are part of a broader Commission strategy to improve the EU's strategic autonomy and response capacities.
This investment was publicly released in daily news from Brussels, marking the continuation of the European Defence Fund's efforts established in previous years to coordinate and innovate European defence sector projects.
