About this opportunity
The EUDIS Business Accelerator is the first EU-wide defence accelerator, powered by the European Commission. It supports a cohort of 20 startups and scaleups through an 8-month programme to strengthen their position in the European defence industrial ecosystem. Each company gets tailored coaching and training with on-demand physical workspace, five on-site bootcamps across Europe connecting them with defence industry leaders, end-users and investors, access to testing facilities, and a non-dilutive seed funding voucher of €120,000 awarded on progress against the objectives set at the start (top performers can earn an extra reward voucher). It is open to startups and scaleups based in EU Member States or Norway that develop solutions for the defence industry and are not controlled by a non-associated third-country entity. The cohort 4 call for applications closes on 16 November 2026, with an online pitching session on 14 to 16 December 2026 and programme launch in March 2027.
How to apply
Use the Apply button on the EUDIS website to open the start-up and scale-up application form before 16 November 2026, and register for the information webinar on 29 October 2026.
