The Ministry of Defence will launch the Northern Ireland Defence Growth Deal in Spring 2026. The Deal will combine defence and wider government investment to support companies across a number of sub-sectors that are key for defence and align with Defence’s strategic priorities. The Deal will harness NI’s defence and dual-use strengths, driving innovation and increasing competitiveness – in line with the Defence Industrial Strategy.
