Ukraine has joined the NATO Support and Procurement Agency’s (NSPA) Security Cooperation Support Partnership (SCSP), allowing its defence companies to participate in NATO contracts. This partnership aims to strengthen Ukraine's defence industry and facilitate closer cooperation with NATO Allies during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
On October 14, the NSPA organised an Industry Day in Kyiv, bringing together Ukrainian defence companies to discuss procurement trends and establish partnerships. NSPA Director of Support to Operations Jacqueline Borsboom highlighted that the partnership would connect Ukrainian industry with growth opportunities while enabling NATO Allies to benefit from Ukraine's battlefield-tested innovation.
Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister Mstyslav Banik emphasized the importance of the partnership in developing defence procurement cooperation with NATO. The SCSP, established in 2025, is the first of its kind, providing Ukrainian companies with broad access to NATO tenders. While Ukraine's NATO membership remains uncertain, this procurement partnership offers a formal framework for deeper defence-industrial cooperation and greater access to NATO contracting opportunities.
