The European Defence Fund (EDF) offers companies and institutions in the defence industry promising opportunities. Thanks to large financial grants, established market participants can develop new areas of business and make a decisive contribution to a secure Europe. At the same time start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) get unique opportunities to establish themselves with innovative technologies. And those who are already successfully offering products and services in the civil market absolutely must check whether their services can be meaningfully put to use in the civil-military arena. In this article you will find out what companies and projects are eligible and what conditions need to be fulfilled.
