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).

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
