EDA launches B2B service for defence industry

Land December 3, 2019

The EDA has launched a B2B service to allow defence industry organisations to connect with one another.

The European Defence Agency (EDA) has launched a new B2B service to increase cross-border relationships in the defence industry. The platform is designed to be in line with the EDA core mission to strengthen the defence industry in Europe and improve industry engagement in defence.

The service will engage with stakeholders and allow them to search for partners for defence programmes. The project aims to improve networking in response to industry demands.

All information submitted throughout the application process will be notified only to the project owner who published the related request for partners as well as to EDA’s administrator. From there, interested parties can get in touch directly and discuss the way ahead.

As the public search for partners can be commercially sensitive, the platform also offers the possibility to publish anonymous requests. EDA’s service is limited to offering access to the platform without implication in the subsequent discussions and setting up of the partnerships.

The B2B Platform aims to respond to the increased networking demand coming from the industry, especially as a result of the new EU defence initiatives which also impact and benefit the wider European defence-related industry. The B2B Platform is open to industrial and research & technology (R&T) entities which are established in the EU and not controlled by entities from outside the EU when it comes to intellectual property rights, security of supply, security of information or export controls.
