The second annual technology challenges of the NATO DIANA defense accelerator have been launched, targeting support for technology companies and start-ups focused on breakthrough and emerging dual-use technologies with defense applications.

The call also highlights the technological domain of space, a vast and largely unexplored frontier with enormous potential for scientific discovery and technological innovation. Space-based technologies span climate change, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing, involving challenges in space exploration, satellite technology, and space-based communication systems and sensing. If your aim include any of those areas, do not hesitate to join.

Applicants can submit their projects worth up to EUR 300k until August 9, 2024, on the official DIANA website: https://www.diana.nato.int/challenges.html.
