The Directorate General for Defence Industry and Space (DG DEFIS) leads the European Commission’s activities in the European defence industry and European space sectors.

Through our work we help to shield the European Union and its citizens from various threats, making it more resilient to climate change and supply chain shortages.
We make sure Europe remains an innovation hub by easing access to finance for space and defence companies while keeping our talents in E

At the heart of innovation lies diversity. DIVERIS is the EU's flagship initiative dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion within the space and defence industries.
