Positions & consultation responses

29 Jul 2025

Private capital – including private equity (PE), venture capital (VC), and infrastructure funds – can play a critical role in strengthening Europe's defence industrial base. Invest Europe welcomes the Commission’s intention to increase funding flexibility, support innovation, and facilitate the scaling of strategic capabilities through the amendments proposed under the mini omnibus for defence. Our members have a long-standing track record of successfully investing in companies active in defence, security, and dual-use technologies – backing innovation, growth, and industrial resilience. They stand ready to continue using their expertise and capacity in the defence sector.
