      HEDI’s Defence Future Insights (DFI) provides strategic intelligence on emerging defence technologies by monitoring global R&T trends, weak signals, patent activity, and dual-use innovations. It supports capability-driven prioritisation and long-term defence planning by translating technological insights into defence applications.

In parallel, HEDI’s Defence Innovation Course aims to build a shared understanding of defence innovation across EU Ministries of Defence.

This cluster initiative encompasses four distinct projects, each tackling specific aspects of innovation management: LOT 1: Technology Watch and Landscaping: Provision of a regular and structured AI supported assessment of worldwide technological developments across both defence and non-defence sectors, identifying emerging trends, weak signals, and dual-use innovations that could impact EU security and defence; LOT 2: Military Utility Assessment: Focuses on evaluating the potential military applications of emerging technologies, assessing their operational utility, and identifying pathways for adoption into defence capability development; LOT 3: Consultancy services for needs assessment, market research, and market consultations: Provision of expert consultancy support for conducting market research and facilitating structured market consultations to bridge gaps between innovation suppliers and defence users; LOT 4: Defence Innovation Training Courses: Development and delivery of a structured, high-quality Defence Innovation Course. The first specific contract will focus on an Intermediate Level while potential follow-up contracts will address Basic and Advanced levels. The course is aimed at fostering a harmonized understanding of defence innovation across EU Member States while equipping participants with practical skills for managing and implementing innovation projects within innovation ecosystems. .
