The EUDIS Business Accelerator supports a cohort of 20 startups and scaleups through an 8 month defence accelerator programme focused on strengthening their position in the European defence industrial ecosystem. In 2026, two cohorts will run with the spring cohort starting in March and the fall cohort starting in September.

Each company will benefit from:

• Tailored coaching and training at a designated accelerator site, with access to an on-demand physical workspace and integration into the local system.

• Five onsite boot camps across different regions of Europe – connecting participants with defence industry leaders, end-users, and investors.

• Access to testing facilities, allowing participants to validate and simulate their solutions in realistic scenarios.

• A 120,000€ seed funding voucher, awarded based on progress towards objectives set at the beginning of the programme.

• An additional reward voucher will be attributed to the top performing startups in the cohort
