How will DIANA connect innovators with the end users within Allied governments and defence forces?

DIANA will seek to solve major defence and security challenges by bringing Allied military and governmental end users (who ‘own’ the problems) together with dual-use, deep tech innovators.

Allied military and governmental end users will define defence and security challenges that need solutions; DIANA will design its own challenges in response to these problems.

In DIANA’s accelerator programme, end users will work with the selected companies to help them adapt their solutions to Allied military needs through mentorship, workshops, and the option to bring on board ‘embeds’. Innovators will also be granted access to end users in DIANA’s affiliated test centres, and in military exercises, training and at test ranges.
