EDIP Explained: Funding Opportunities for Electronics Companies

Date
- (7:00 - 8:00am CDT)

The Global Electronics Association, in cooperation with European Commission DG DEFIS, invites you to an exclusive webinar exploring the European Defence Industrial Programme (EDIP) and its upcoming funding opportunities for the electronics industry.

Scheduled for May 12, 14:00–15:00 CET, this session is designed for European electronics companies, both members and non-members, looking to better understand and position themselves for EU defence funding.

During the webinar, DG DEFIS experts will:

  • Provide background on EDIP and its newly published work programme
  • Outline the Industrial Reinforcement Actions (IRA) and the upcoming Key Electronic Components call
  • Explain how companies can participate in the application process
  • Answer questions during a live Q&A session

A key highlight of EDIP is the €122.25 million allocated through Industrial Reinforcement Actions to strengthen critical electronic capabilities. This includes funding opportunities across areas such as guidance and propulsion electronics, RF and laser modules, avionics, PCBs and IC substrates, batteries, power electronics, and semiconductor building blocks.

The Call for proposals is expected to open in June 2026 and close in February 2027, making this webinar a timely opportunity to gain early insights and prepare for participation.

This is a must-attend session for companies seeking to stay competitive and informed in the evolving European defence electronics landscape.
