November 20, the day before NEDS, is all about international cooperation. During this matchmaking day, the defense and security industry will have the opportunity to meet and discuss opportunities.

More information and registration

The event, organised in collaboration with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), will take place in Rotterdam. Participation is free of charge.

The programme consists of two different types of matchmaking:

• EDF matchmaking: focused on the European Defence Fund programme, open to companies eligible to participate in the EDF.
• Global matchmaking: open to all participants interested in defence-related international cooperation, in the context of industrial participation obligations in the Netherlands.

Participation and registration

To participate in this event, registration via the B2Match platform is required. You can register for EDF or global matching, or for both. You can select your matchmaking during registration.

Please provide your company description, interesting defence topics, suitability for the EDF and previous experience via the platform. For information about the EDF and to see if you are eligible, visit the EDF website.

The B2M platform provides all participants with insight into the other participants to ensure relevant matchmaking.

Please note: Participation in this event does not grant you access to the exhibition on November 21st. A separate registration is required for NEDS.
