The webinar for BEPA members saw a presentation on the European Defence Fund by Marie Latour, European Affairs Director at Euro-Funding, which will be then followed by a Q&A session.
The webinar focused on the European Defence Fund (EDF) and its 2025 funding opportunities for the battery sector. As the EU strengthens its efforts to build a more autonomous and resilient defence sector, the EDF, with a budget of nearly €7.3 billion for 2021-2027, offers substantial support for collaborative projects on battery R&D including areas related to energy storage, dual-use technologies, and defence-readiness. The fund also supports SMEs and startups through grants and tailored services to help innovative players overcome market barriers.
