The SAFE (Security Action for Europe) program, valued at €150 billion, aims to enhance Europe's defense industry and address security needs. Although Zachodniopomorskie is not a major defense manufacturing hub in Poland, it could serve as a logistical and service provider for defense projects due to its strategic location and infrastructure, including major ports.

Poland stands to gain approximately €43.7 billion from the program, with 89% directed to local defense companies. Despite a presidential veto on its implementation, the government will continue with existing financial mechanisms.

Local businesses may see new job opportunities and demand for specialists in various sectors, with potential contributions from shipyards like Morska Stocznia Remontowa Gryfia. The region's participation could enhance its role in international defense initiatives.
