Germany – The Netherlands European Defence Fund Matchmaking

Do you work with new and disruptive technologies in innovative projects? Are these projects of interest for Defence or the defence industry? Do you work together or would you like to work at a European and international level together with companies, knowledge institutes and universities?

Then join us in Brussels on the evening of May the 27th, just before the start of the EDF Info Days. The matchmaking will consist of several rounds of one-to-one matchmakings. Afterwards, there will be a buffet and ample opportunities to continue networking.

For who?

Are you active in the defence industry as an OEM, small or medium-sized enterprise or research organization? Are you a private or a public party? The German-Dutch matchmaking event is interesting for everyone! The evening programme will facilitate 5 physical separate matchmaking rounds where you will have the opportunity to already meet some of the interesting entities before the EDF Info Days.

The European Defence Fund

The EDF is a European research and innovation program for cutting edge defence research and development which spans from 2021 until 2027.

With this program the European Commission aims to:

  • Improve cooperation and interoperability between member states;
