HEDI — Hub for EU Defence Innovation

European Defence Agency

About this opportunity

EDA's front door for innovators — the networking and challenge layer above the big EDF calls, via an EU partner.

HEDI is the innovation hub run by the European Defence Agency, the EU's intergovernmental body for defence capability development. It operates as a scouting, matchmaking and challenge layer that connects innovators to member-state needs and steers them toward the larger European Defence Fund calls. Access runs through the EU defence ecosystem, so a Ukrainian company generally engages via an EU member-state entity or partner.
