EUDIS

EU Defence Innovation Scheme

About this opportunity

EDF's startup-facing programme: accelerator, hackathons and co-investment. Lower barrier than the main EDF calls and a way into the EU defence network.

EUDIS is the innovation strand of the European Defence Fund, run by the European Commission to draw startups and SMEs into the EU defence base through hackathons, a business accelerator, investor matchmaking and a spin-in scheme. It carries a lighter entry bar than the main EDF calls, so a Ukrainian company typically engages through an EU-registered entity or partner to join the network.
