Companies and research organisations already active in civil (Horizon Europe, European Space Agency – ESA) and defence R&D (Joint Defence Call, European Defence Agency CapTechs, NATO) programmes are encouraged to register to the webinar. The European Defence Fund (EDF) aims at filling technology capability gaps within EU defence through close collaboration between EU companies, research organisation and Ministries of Defense, and by creating synergies to existing initiatives within EDA, NATO, Horizon Europe and ESA.
