A structured supplier readiness and capability development program helping SMEs assess their current maturity, close critical gaps and become stronger candidates for the defence, security and dual-use supply chain.
Many SMEs have technologies, products or manufacturing capabilities that could be relevant for the defence industry. The challenge is rarely the technology itself — it is understanding and meeting the requirements related to quality, documentation, cybersecurity, traceability, production maturity and delivery capability.
Quality, documentation, cybersecurity and traceability are critical.
Many companies are unsure what requirements they need to meet, what gaps they need to close and how to approach the market.
Supplier maturity often requires the right combination of expertise, networks, test infrastructure and industrial connections.
The program is designed for companies with technology, industrial capacity or competence that may be relevant to defence, security, preparedness or dual-use markets.
Unlike traditional training programs, the Supplier Development Program combines practical capability development with access to industrial networks, test infrastructure and relevant ecosystem actors.
The result is not just training — but a structured path towards becoming a more capable and relevant supplier.
The program gives participating companies a structured process for understanding their current position, identifying gaps and building the capabilities needed to become a more attractive potential supplier to the defence industry.
Registrations are reviewed continuously. Only a limited number of companies will be selected for the 2026 cohort.
