The day prior to the exhibition, the NIDV organises an industry matchmaking day in cooperation with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). If you are interested in participating in the 2024 European Defence Fund programme or if your company is looking to collaborate at a European level in the future, this event is an excellent opportunity for you. A global matchmaking session will be organised in the afternoon where your company can meet with non-European industries, including US OEMs.
