DIANA’s Pilot Challenges | Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic:

August 25, 2023

Value

Varies.

Description

The DIANA challenge programme starts with a competitive call for proposals targeting three strategic focus areas: energy resilience, secure information sharing, and sensing and surveillance (see explanatory videos and challenge problem statements: click here). Derived from defence and security needs across the Alliance, informed by the state-of-development of commercial technologies, and designed for deep tech innovators – our programme seeks your help in solving critical dual-use (civilian and defence) challenges.

Eligible Applicants

DIANA has few basic eligibility criteria. Any incorporated company headquartered in a NATO member nation is eligible to participate in a DIANA challenge. Below you will find a summary of answers to additional questions you may have as you consider applying for a DIANA challenge.

  • Citizenship or nationality requirements for applicants: DIANA will accept proposals from all companies meeting the basic eligibility criteria of being headquartered in a NATO member nation irrespective of the nationality of the applicants.
  • Company size or type: DIANA will accept proposals from all companies meeting the basic eligibility criteria. However early-stage start-ups or small and medium-sized enterprises with limited experience in defence and security will benefit most from the unique DIANA Accelerator programme.
  • Universities and non-profit groups: During 2023, universities and non-profit groups will not be eligible to apply, although we foresee opportunities in future years.
  • Technology or product maturity: DIANA seeks technology solutions at maturity levels typically TRL 4 and above. However, lower TRL solutions with potential disruptive impact will be considered.
  • Collaborative proposals: DIANA will accept collaborative proposals provided that all member companies meet the basic eligibility criteria. A single company must be listed as lead for the purposes of communication during the submission process, as well as for contracting and reporting requirements should a grant be awarded.

Eligible Expenses

Innovators who are accepted into our challenges will receive grant funding to support their technology development and demonstration, participate in a customised commercial and defence-focused accelerator programme, gain access to test and evaluation resources across the Alliance, and benefit from curated exposure to investors and end users to support technology transition and adoption.

Deadline Date

The challenge closes on August 25, 2023.
