The European Commission has launched the EUDIS Business Accelerator and Matchmaking (BAMM) program, an initiative aimed at providing comprehensive support to startups and scaleups active in the defense sector with funding and networking. The first call to access growth opportunities is scheduled for March 2025.
The EUDIS Business Accelerator and Matchmaking (BAMM) program is part of the EU Defense Innovation Scheme (EUDIS), a flagship initiative of the European Defense Fund (EDF) to enhance innovation in the sector.
In line with the Competitiveness Compass communication, this initiative highlights the Union's growing commitment to promoting the competitiveness of the defense industrial ecosystem in Europe.
Specifically, the services offered by the BAMM program aim to provide rapid and agile support to startups, scaleups, and SMEs developing technologies in the defense sector, helping them navigate the specific market while improving their access to financial resources and new partnerships.
