Ireland Signs On: What Smaller States Joining SAFE Means for Regional Procurement
In June 2025, Ireland confirmed its participation in the EU’s €150 billion SAFE defence fund, becoming one of the first smaller member states to tap into the bloc’s new pooled- borrowing model for critical military equipment.
Ireland’s entry proves SAFE isn’t just for major spenders, it helps smaller countries secure better value by combining orders for drones, air defence systems, and secure communications with those of larger partners. For industry, this unlocks more joint tenders, multi-country contracts, and stricter EU sourcing rules.
