Programmes DefenceThe EU offers dedicated matchmaking platforms to connect innovators, companies, and investors in the defence sector. Below are two key platforms that help organisations build networks and accelerate innovation within the European defence ecosystem.
EUDIS Matchmaking platform is continuously open and connects defence innovators, investors, corporations, and end-users across Europe through structured, high-value networking—both online and in-person.
This platform is part of the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS), a key initiative within the European Defence Fund (EDF) that promotes innovation and strengthens defence research and development (R&D) across Europe.
EUDIS plays a key role in expanding the European defence innovation ecosystem, with a strong focus on start-ups and SMEs. It provides end-to-end support—from concept to market entry–helping innovators connect with industry players, secure funding, and drive competitiveness in the defence sector.
For more information on this Matchmaking platform, please visit the official website.
European Defence Agency (EDA) offers a safe B2B Platform to facilitate the creation of cross-border partnerships in the defence sector. Thanks to this platform, registered companies, including sme’s, can quickly and confidentially search for potential partners to develop their business.
For instructions on how to use this platform, please access this video.
For more information and to register, please visit the EDA B2B Platform website.
In addition to the previous platforms, Flemish organisations can reach out to NCP Flanders and Enterprise Europe Network Flanders for support with partner search services.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to
a personalised dashboard that groups all news updates and event announcements in your domain(s).
Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
