Industry & Defence
The Industry & Defence sector is of growing strategic importance to economic resilience, security and technological innovation. Rabobank supports companies within the defence and security sector, as well as businesses developing dual-use technologies in areas such as high-tech, IT, manufacturing and logistics. This support is always provided within clear frameworks for legislation, compliance and ESG policies.
Rabobank recognises that financing companies in defence and security contributes to the protection of democratic values, strategic autonomy and a stable society.
Our Role
Within the defence ecosystem, Rabobank plays a connecting role between entrepreneurs, government, knowledge institutions and partners such as NIDV. We support companies with:
- financing of growth, investments and innovation;
- insights into market developments;
- international expansion and cooperation within Europe.
In addition to financing, Rabobank actively shares knowledge through sector analyses, events and masterclasses for entrepreneurs who are active in, or aiming to enter, the defence sector.
Ambition within NIDV
Through its membership of NIDV, Rabobank aims to contribute to a strong, transparent and forward-looking defence ecosystem in which entrepreneurship, innovation and responsibility go hand in hand. Together with Dutch industry, Rabobank works towards resilience, technological progress and sustainable economic growth.
