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/.

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.
The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
