Empowering Fife businesses in the Defence Sector

The UK government has committed to increasing defence spending to 2.36% of GDP (£2.2 billion) by 2027. There is a growing demand across the supply chain, including demand for non-traditional defence suppliers. These businesses are critical to delivering on defence contracts and will see increased opportunities as defence spending rises.

Fife Council’s Economic Development Team, in partnership with Make UK Defence have developed the Defence Ready Programme to meet the demands of the sector.

The Defence Ready Programme is designed to support businesses in Fife, enabling them to thrive within the competitive defence industry. Our programme offers tailored support, expert advice, and valuable connections to help your business thrive both domestically and internationally in the defence market.
