The European Commission recently published the EDIP programme.  Following this, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), together with the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, is organizing an EDIP information session on Tuesday, 19 May 2026.

During this session, you will receive more detailed information about a new funding opportunity to scale up defence production through “Industrial Reinforcement Actions” (IRA), in collaboration with European partners and/or specifically with Ukraine (USI-IRA).

What can you expect?

• Connect with partners interested in Defence, EDIP, EDF, and European collaboration
• Gain insight into the funding of different parts of the programme
• Learn more about the European Commission’s evaluation criteria
• Get an overview of the EDIP 2026 timeline
• Ask questions and share your plans where possible

Who is it for?
