Welcome to the EOA Matchmaking Live Event, co-organized with EEN - Enterprise Europe Network

About the B2B event
On June 18th, the organizers team composed of EDF National Focal Points and members of the EEN Aerospace and Defense Group will be there to support you understanding the specificities of this funding program.

This event is meant to enable European Defence innovation stakeholders to connect and explore collaboration opportunities for applying to the European Defence Fund (EDF) calls for proposals.

Matchmaking event
This dedicated matchmaking platform will allow participants to register, view a list of participants, and schedule meeting for the d-day.
Additionally, informal networking will be facilitated during the event, with a specific tagging system to help identify key EDF partners.
Complimentary food and beverages will be provided.

Info sessions
In addition to this event, info sessions will be held as part of the European-funded project "Enhancing Opportunities for All" (EOA) and will be linked to various activities organized during the Paris Air Show to raise awareness of the European Defence Fund. 

For example, NFP-led sessions for French companies will be held at regional pavilions, scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.

Furthermore, synergies with initiatives led by the DG DEFIS at the European Pavilion will also be identified and promoted, such as knowledge sharing and best practices with EDF project laureates.

The EDF is a European programme for cutting edge defence and development, which spans from 2021 until 2027.
With this program the European Commission aims to:
- Improve cooperation between companies, including SMEs and research actors throughout the Union and increase interoperability between Member States’ capabilities;
- Boost defence capability developments within the EU; and
- Strengthen the defence technological and industrial base within the EU.

About the European Defence Fund
