Belgian companies can apply to join HUB Pendragon in connection with EDPCI ERCUL, a French defence robotics-related project under the European Defence Projects of Common Interest.
Information circulated by AMIAD, the French Ministry of Defence AI agency, includes an application file for industrial participants that want to join HUB Pendragon in the context of EDPCI ERCUL. The message refers to ERCUL as a French project linked to a robotics unit and states that Belgian companies can take part under the registration modalities set out in the attached file.
Two participation routes are mentioned: companies may apply with the intention to contribute to the hub, or they may join as observers. Observer status is described as including invitations to the hub’s plenary meetings once or twice a year.
For Belgian Defence, the project is led by the land component staff under Colonel Deschryver.
Interested Belgian companies should review the attached application file and contact Major Maarten Van Tricht (Maarten.VanTricht@mil.be) for practical arrangements.

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
