ProgrammesThe Village by CA network and its partners have launched a European call for dual-use innovation projects. It is aimed at French and European start-ups developing technologies with both civil and defence applications. Applications open on 7 September 2026 and close on 2 November 2026 at 23:59.
The call invites applications from start-ups working on dual-use technologies across air, space, land and sea. The published themes include digital, drones and autonomous mobility, communication and supply chain, energy, and resilience and protection. According to the application portal, projects may also cover areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data.
The selection programme is due to run online.
Applications are open from 7 September to 2 November 2026, followed by pre-selection and jury review from 3 to 24 November 2026.
A networking day is planned for 7 December 2026 at the Fédération Nationale du Crédit Agricole, 48 rue la Boétie, 75008 Paris.
The selected start-ups may be invited to enter an accompanying support phase in 2027 and 2028 through participating Village by CA structures.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
