About

Starburst is the world’s leading global aerospace and defense (A&D) startup accelerator and strategic advisory firm. We are looking to collaborate with industrial primes, innovative SMEs, and RTOs to build competitive consortia for European defense initiatives.

Our Track Record: We have a proven history of navigating complex European funding landscapes. We took part to several EUDIS projects (Business Accelerator, Deftech Forge, Hackathon...), Mobile Responsive Launch study for DG DEFIS, EDF Call Battleverse...

What We Bring to a Consortium:

  • Strategic Advisory: Expert market studies, business case development, and commercialization roadmaps for dual-use technologies.

  • Innovation Management: Design and execution of hackathons, acceleration tracks, and scouting for disruptive technologies to integrate into larger defense programs.

  • Project Management: Experienced lead or support in administrative and operational management of large-scale European projects.

  • Ecosystem Access: An unparalleled network of 15,000+ startups and deep relationships with global A&D Primes and MoDs.

Who we want to meet: We are looking for technical leads and industrial partners preparing submissions for EDF calls who require a strategic partner to bridge the gap between breakthrough innovation and defense requirements.
