In light of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the Union is faced with an acute need to significantly enhance security, its Defence Technological and Industrial Base and military mobility. Through an increased EU guarantee available under the relevant policy windows of the InvestEU Fund, enhanced visibility and accessibility of financial support in relation to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), middle capitalisation companies (mid-caps) and start-ups in the defence supply chain, the Union and InvestEU implementing partners can provide important support for this key priority.
