EUDIS offers a set of instruments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including start-ups, and other non-traditional players in defence industrial ecosystem to ensure more opportunities to access the European Defence Fund. It aims to lower entry barriers into the defence domain for smaller players and innovators, focusing on technological readiness and market maturity. EUDIS Business Accelerator and Matchmaking (BAMM) programme is a part of this EU initiative and aim to support innovators throughout the development cycle to mature, scale-up, demonstrate their use-case, grow and successfully enter the market. The programme, led by the European Commission and implemented by a consortium including Starburst Accelerator, WSL, Civitta, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, underscores the EU's commitment to fostering defence innovation and industrial competitiveness.
