The European Commission has launched two exciting initiatives to support European start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, and small mid-caps: the European Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS) Business Accelerator and Matchmaking. Starburst is proudly leading the consortium of this initiative alongside Civitta, WSL, le support des techno-entrepreneurs en Wallonie and VTT. The EUDIS Business Accelerator will offer a tailored 8-month programme with six bootcamps focusing on different defence ecosystems. Participants will gain insights into defence end-users' needs, refine their business strategies, and network with industry leaders. Selected companies will also receive a €65,000 seed funding voucher. Applications are open until April 27th: 💡 Apply as a Start-up/Scale-up: https://tally.so/r/mKWkEV 🤝 Apply as a Defence Expert: https://tally.so/r/mZZW6A Sign up for an information webinar on 10 April at 13:00 CEST to learn more: https://tally.so/r/n0DqOP Meanwhile, EUDIS Matchmaking will connect start-ups, SMEs, mid-sized companies, investors, and defence end-users to foster collaboration and innovation in defence.
