DIANA’s mission is to identify and support innovators from across NATO – in turn, helping the Alliance maintain its technological edge, protect its one billion citizens and build a peaceful and more resilient future.
We work with some of the planet’s most dynamic and exciting young companies to find dual-use solutions to defence and security challenges.
DIANA needs the brightest and the best, and we are delighted that you’re considering joining us.
DIANA leverages its accelerator programme and test centre network to bring start-ups together with operational end users, scientists, and systems integrators to advance compelling deep tech dual-use solutions for the Alliance.
Companies selected through the DIANA challenges gain access to:
the DIANA Accelerator Programme including support with their technology and business development
funding to enable them to continue iteration of their proposed solution through an ongoing transparent and competitive process
10+ accelerators across the Alliance, with more planned over the coming years
a network of test centres across the Alliance where innovators can test, demonstrate and validate their proposed dual-use technological solutions
mentoring from scientists, engineers, industry partners, end users, and government procurement experts
an investor network for trusted third-party funding
opportunities to demonstrate technology in operational environments
pathways to market within the NATO enterprise and 32 Allied markets
Emerging and disruptive technologies are changing the way the Alliance operates in times of peace, crisis, and conflict. To sharpen NATO’s technological edge, Allied nations are working together with the private sector to adopt and integrate new technologies and shape standards.
Among other technology areas, DIANA will focus on big data, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, quantum, biotechnologies and human enhancement, energy and propulsion, novel materials and advanced manufacturing, hypersonics and space – specifically where they are dual-use (civilian and defence) and deep tech in nature, and where they can be used to solve challenging defence and security problems.
