What's up

From March 12 to March 14, 2026, at the heart of the capital of the European institutions, NATO, and Belgium, BEDEX offers a unique crossroads where industry leaders, institutions, armed forces, system integrators, technology experts, and international partners come together. It is where strategic priorities are discussed and where future collaborations begin.

We are very proud to announce that we will take part in a major European defense exhibition and conference, bringing our ecosystem directly to the heart of strategic industry and security discussions.

A6K is the place where innovators, entrepreneurs, and talent get together to shape the future of defense, our presence at BEDEX reflects our commitment to positioning innovation, acceleration, and education where Europe’s key defense conversations take place.

Discover why we convert strategic ambition into concrete projects, industrial deployment, skilled talent, and lasting partnerships.

Go to deploy

We are the home of the first Cyber Defence Factory, the first official implantation of the Belgian Cyber Force in a civilian environment, co-developing concrete cyber defense solutions, from operational needs to deployable technologies.

Turning strategic challenges into deployable solutions is at the core of our action. We enable companies, start-ups, and public actors to develop new products and services by transforming strategic industry and defense challenges into structured collaborative innovation projects within a trusted and industry-connected ecosystem.

Develop your next products and services through collaborative projects.

Go to scale-up

We are the home of Belgium’s second-ever NATO DIANA success, with Calyos, selected in the 2026 cohort out of more than 3,600 proposals. Calyos is one of only three Belgian projects selected.

We accelerate entrepreneurs active in industry and defense through hands-on, industry-close support and direct access to a unique industrial, institutional and defense ecosystem.

Through our services, Calyos benefited from side-by-side acceleration and deep ecosystem access to position its dual-use thermal management technologies for both industrial and defense applications.

Accelerate your venture into industry & defense markets.

Go to level-up

We are the home of future talent supporting Quartier du Futur, a strategic defense and urban project requiring more than 1,500 trained and employed people, while expanding our capacity from 2,000 learners in 2025 to 10,000 per year by 2027.

We act as a connector and facilitator, bringing together defense actors, training partners, companies, and talent to design and deliver the skills needed for the future military and civilian activities of the new caserne.

A6K addresses the growing talent gap by developing fast-tracked, industry-connected education programs aligned with the real needs of industry, security, and defense sectors.

Upgrade your skills and strengthen your talent for industry and defense.

Go to industrialize

We are the home of new playgrounds for business, with Aerospacelab and its Megafactory, turning former industrial sites into strategic locations for large-scale production, backed by the financial strength of Sambrinvest.

This nearly 20,000 sqm facility is designed to produce more than 500 satellites per year and already brings together over 350 workers, with more than 100 additional talents expected in the near future (the inauguration of the new Megafactory is due at the end of 2026)!

A6K enables companies to leverage former industrial sites into strategic locations where they can deploy, industrialize and scale faster, directly connected to innovation, talent and industrial ecosystems within the financial support needed.
