From 6–8 May 2025, the EPIIC project was featured at the Defense Exhibition Athens (DEFEA) — a premier event gathering defense stakeholders from across Europe and beyond. Held at the DG DEFIS booth, the project attracted interest for its cutting-edge developments in future fighter cockpit systems.

Key contributions included:

  • Airbus Spain presenting the EPIIC interaction demonstrator, offering hands-on insight into emerging human-machine interfaces.
  • Thales attending and supporting discussions as project coordinators.
  • On the institutional side, Project Officer Mr. Konstantinos Grapsas represented the European Defence Fund (EDF), reinforcing the EU’s commitment to fostering innovation in defence.

Participation in DEFEA provided a valuable opportunity to showcase EPIIC’s progress, foster dialogue with policy and industry leaders, and align with Europe’s strategic goals for air combat capabilities.
