The »INDY-Energy Independent and Energy Efficient Military Camps« project officially concluded on 31 January 2025; however, its outcomes continue to serve as a foundation for numerous new projects and tangible solutions enhancing energy resilience in defence in the future. INDY serves as a role model for how collaboration between industry and respective ministries of defence can drive dual-use innovation to ensure sustainable, efficient military operations for decades.
The »INDY-Energy Independent and Energy Efficient Military Camps« project reached a significant milestone with its 5th All PartnersEvent, held on 22–23 January 2025 at the Hotel nhow Brussels Bloom in Belgium. This final gathering of project partners marked the symbolic conclusion of one of the first European projects under the European Defence Fund (EDF) programme, addressing green energy and the resilience of the European Defence sector related to energy security.
Throughout the project, 20 partners and 9 subcontractors from 13 European countries strengthened their collaboration, secured active participation in key EU defence energy programmes, and helped the way for efficient, self-sufficient military camps of the future.
