Though a national federation, our Cluster is proud of its regional roots. Hence, we are represented in several regions through local branches, whose network is led by a vice-president and a regional attaché. The EDEN Cluster is represented in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, Bretagne, Est, Ile-de-France and Région Sud.

Our ambitions

The EDEN Cluster was created to allow its members to pool their industrial and technological skills and thus present to the Defense, Security and Safety sector a complete, solid and relevant offer. Throughout these years, the economic, geopolitical and more recently health context has evolved considerably, international tensions and terrorist attacks have put security at the heart of European concerns and here again the EDEN Cluster allows its member companies to adapt and collaborate to meet the growing security needs of nations. The member companies of the EDEN Cluster are French companies that produce and create jobs in France. This community of technological know-how combined with relevant analysis and perfect knowledge of the needs of the Defense, Internal Security and Safety market, develops a coherent offer. Fully aware of the specificities of this sector, the members of the EDEN Cluster have a common backbone: an active research and development approach and a natural export strategy as a lever for their growth.

Our missions

Thanks to its network of experts, the EDEN Cluster brings together the know-how of each player, offers support initiatives, anticipates market developments and supports technological innovations.

EDEN's strategy is deployed around 4 main axes:

The exchange and sharing of information, essential in this field of activity, both on a horizontal level (between the members of the association) and on a vertical level (the members of the association vis-à-vis their clients and principals)

The joint representation of its members, particularly at major international trade fairs, seminars or bodies at national and international level

Offensive and defensive monitoring, which could lead to the implementation of institutional relations actions

Defense research and development
