The Enhancing Opportunities for All (EOA) initiative, developed under the European Defence Fund (EDF), aims to strengthen collaboration across the European defence ecosystem by supporting networking and partner search activities among stakeholders.
In this context, the sixth EDF Online Matchmaking event will take place virtually on April 10th, 2026, from 13:00 to 18:00 CET, and will be introduced by a webinar session on “Do’s and Don’ts when writing your EDF 2026 proposal” in the morning, from 11:00 to 12:00 CET.
Registrations are now open for participants to create or update their profiles and access the matchmaking platform. After registering, participants will be able to explore a wide catalogue of potential partners and schedule one-to-one meetings to be held during the event.
This matchmaking event offers EDF potential applicants the opportunity to connect with partners, build consortia, and prepare for the upcoming EDF 2026 calls. It also provides a space to interact with National Focal Points (NFPs) and clarify key aspects such as project scope, funding conditions, eligibility, and consortium building.
