Are you working in the Defence or Security markets? Are you looking to increase your international development? Take advantage of the opportunities generated by the EU-ALLIANCE initiatives!
The European EU-ALLIANCE project has been officially launched. This initiative aims to support SMEs internationalisation of six leading European clusters in the fields of technical textile, connectivity, deep tech and advanced materials to address dual-use markets in Defence and Security in four targeted countries: Japan, the United States, Canada and Indonesia.
The consortium will provide internationalisation-customised services to enter these international markets and organise delegations of SMEs in each of the four targeted countries. The agenda will be developed in collaboration with the participating SMEs. For this reason, EU-ALLIANCE is launching a call for interest to gather the needs and targets from SMEs that will allow to customise the missions.
Japan has been confirmed as a country of high interest by all EU-ALLIANCE partners who will also leverage from the previous first missions (more than 30 contacts, 42 B2B meetings, 2 MoU under discussion).
The EU-ALLIANCE project is funded by the European Union’s COSME programme. It brings together six key clusters representing nearly 900 companies: Techtera (Coordinator - France); Systematic (France); PO.IN.TEX - Textile innovation cluster (Italy); NTT - Next Technology Tecnotessile (Italy); NIDV - Industries for Defence and Security (Netherlands); SIIT - Intelligent System Integrated Technologies (Italy).
Should you wish to take advantage of these opportunities, you can communicate your needs and join the selection of companies that may benefit from the European support for these activities in filling the call for expressions of interest HERE.
