With the release of the Arms Against Tyranny Expansion, Paradox removed the long-standing design companies and replaced them with Military Industrial Organizations. Also known as MIOs, these companies will allow you to research technology faster, make stronger equipment, and increase equipment production.
MIO’s are meant to mimic the close relationship between governments and corporations during the war effort, such as Ford or Boeing in the USA and Rolls Royce in the UK.
How to use a Military Industrial Organization
Your country’s organizations can be assigned as a designer and a producer of equipment. When assigned as a designer in the equipment designer interface, the MIO will provide all of its bonuses to that equipment. It costs 5 of the appropriate XP to change the assigned MIO, and a new variant will have to be produced.
Assigning an MIO as a Designer
An organization can also be assigned as a producer from the production screen. This doesn’t cost anything and can be easily changed, however it only applies the production bonuses from the MIO, no combat bonuses.

Leveling Up MIOs
You can level up military industrial organizations by acquiring funds. Funds can be gained from using the MIO on a production line as a producer, researching appropriate technologies, and from some national focuses.
After earning enough funds, the organization will increase in size, rewarding you a trait point to spend on a bonus.
How to Upgrade a MIO
In order to upgrade a military industrial organization, you’ll need to navigate to the political tab and select the appropriate group under “Research & Production.” All MIOs can be found in the left 4 options.
Clicking on one of those will open a list of every organization, including ones that you haven’t unlocked yet. Hovering over locked ones will display the requirements needed to activate them, usually through a national focus.
Clicking “Details” will open a popup with all of the critical information about the MIO, including the trait tree. Here you can unlock or queue up traits to be unlocked whenever the company levels up. You can also view the production line, research, and designer history for the organization.
