JOIST Defence Innovation Hub
About
The JOIST Defence Innovation Hub is an EU Secret certified platform based at JOIST Innovation Park in Larissa, Greece. It provides industry, research institutions, and public actors with a structured entry point into the European defence and dual-use innovation ecosystem.
Through its institutional partnership with the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development (iED), designated coordinator of a European Digital Innovation Hub, JOIST brings a track record spanning 500+ EU projects, 48 European networks, and partners across 40 countries.
The Hub supports the full spectrum of engagement with European defence: programme intelligence and call monitoring, consortium formation and proposal development, matchmaking between complementary organisations, visibility among decision-makers and programme offices, and access to EU Secret certified facilities for classified project development activities.
JOIST connects its members to EU and NATO funding instruments, defence procurement authorities, Hellenic Armed Forces representatives, European institutions, and prime contractors across the continent.
JOIST is where organisations gain the certification, networks, and institutional relationships that European defence programme participation requires.
