About
The European Defence Fund (EDF) aims to stimulate and support common and cross-border research and development in the field of defence. In support of the EDF and European cooperation, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) is organizing an EDF innovation mission. This mission will take place in the Netherlands between 19 and 21 March.
The aim of this innovation mission is to improve the cooperation between French and Dutch companies and knowledge institutes in relation to the EDF. In order to ensure an interesting programme and relevant matchmakings, the innovation mission focusses on themes relevant for both countries. Moreover, during this innovation mission we aim to lay the foundations for multi-year cooperation between France and the Netherlands.
Why participate
In continuation of last year’s innovation mission to Paris, this innovation mission will offer you another chance to find, connect and possibly find future collaborations with relevant French or Dutch partners on themes of interest. During the program, there will be relevant presentations, panel discussions, SME pitches, time for matchmaking and networking opportunities.
Themes:
- Materials & components
- Sensors
- Simulation and Training
- Underwater Warfare
- Non-thematics
If you are interested to collaborate on the above mentioned topics then we strongly recommend you to broaden your network horizons and sign up for this innovation mission. This mission will be the perfect chance for you to set up new partnerships and lay down the foundations for future projects and long-term cooperation under the EDF.
