EDF Matchmaking Event
DI Danish Defence and Security Industries and the EOA consortium are organising an on-site EDF matchmaking event in the auspices of the Danish Defence Annual Conference (DDAC), which will kick off immediately afterwards. The event will take place on 5 February 2026 from 08:30 to 11:30 at Bella Arena, Copenhagen.
The event is aimed at companies, academia, and research institutions interested in learning more about the opportunities offered by the European Defence Fund (EDF), presenting their expertise, and showcasing project ideas to potential European partners who are considering applying for the upcoming European Defence Fund 2026 calls.
When you register for the matchmaking event you will receive a link to our B2B platform in the confirmation e-mail, where you are encouraged to complete your profile and invite other participants to 15-minute matchmaking meetings.
