Today we introduced AGILE, our €115 million, 100% EU-funded pilot programme. Its mission is taking cutting-edge defence tech from the lab to the battlefield at record speed.

To stay ahead in modern warfare, Europe must innovate faster. Yet our SMEs & startups, face too many barriers and current programmes take too much time. It’s time to fix that.
