For Research

Research plays a critical role in the development of future defence and security capabilities. Cold Will helps research organisations connect with industry, public authorities and end users to ensure that innovation can move beyond the laboratory and into practical use.

Our network supports the creation of multidisciplinary partnerships for European Defence Fund (EDF) projects and other international research and innovation programmes. We help research organisations identify relevant industrial partners, technology developers and end users that strengthen project consortia and increase the impact of research outcomes.

At the same time, Cold Will provides researchers with direct access to industry needs and emerging technology challenges. Through our member companies and partner network, research organisations gain valuable insight into real-world capability gaps, technology requirements and future development opportunities.

By connecting research excellence with industry expertise and operational requirements, Cold Will helps accelerate the journey from research to innovation, and from innovation to deployable capability.

Cold Will connects research, industry and end users to create stronger partnerships, more competitive project consortia and greater impact for defence and dual-use innovation.
