1 tracked editions across 1 country. Defence, defence-tech and dual-use accelerators, programmes and open calls with dates, venues, organisers and registration deadlines.
DIANA is NATO's primary mechanism for pulling dual-use deep-tech startups and SMEs directly into the Alliance's procurement and capability pipeline via its Rapid Adoption Service, substantially compressing the typical 3–5 year procurement cycle to 6–12 months. Selection places a company within a trust network spanning 32 Allied markets, military end-users, and a NATO-linked investor community — a credibility signal that is exceptionally difficult to replicate commercially. For defence-adjacent startups, the non-dilutive funding structure (no equity taken, full IP retained) and access to live operational test environments make this one of the most commercially consequential accelerator programmes in the transatlantic defence ecosystem.
