Under the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), approved at the end of 2025, calls are being published for projects linked to industrial reinforcement in the defence field. These projects are aimed at industry and seek to support production capacity for components that are critical to defence products.
The first 2026 call focuses on energy-related components that are essential for the production of defence products and for which bottlenecks exist, such as nitrocellulose, explosives and propulsion mechanisms, etc. The call covers land, maritime and air applications, including drones, tanks and missiles.
Both conditions apply: the components must be energy-related and there must be a bottleneck affecting defence production.
Proposals must be submitted by 16 June 2026.
After submission, proposals are to be evaluated, ranked and awarded. The call text on the European Commission Funding & Tenders Portal includes the detailed scope, the targeted components, participation conditions, evaluation criteria and available budgets.
Around EUR 166 million has already been allocated to this call. More information is available via the Funding & Tenders Portal: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/.
Attached you can find a presentation of the EU Commission regarding IRA (all the calls are mentioned as also the requirements and expectations).

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
