The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) are pleased to host a webinar on the new and exciting NATO initiative, the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).

On 19 June 2023, DIANA launched its first challenge call with a focus on three areas:

Energy resilience
Secure information sharing
Sensing and surveillance.

If you are a UK-based innovator with a disruptive idea that fits in one of these fields, then join this webinar on Thursday 27 July 1000 to 1100 hosted on MS Teams. The webinar will feature NATO DIANA’s Managing Director, Prof. Deeph Chana and DIANA’s Chief of Staff, Moritz Zimmermann, who will cover an overview of DIANA, the pilot challenges, how to apply and the practical aspects of participating in the DIANA challenges.

DIANA’s pilot challenges are open until 25 August 2023: https://www.nato-diana.org/s/
