NATO DIANA Estonian Accelerator Virtual Office Hour

Calling all Estonian 🇪🇪 and other NATO-allied deep tech startups! 🌍📢

Join us for an informative virtual office hour on July 11, from 11:00 to 12:00 (GMT+3 / EEST) to learn about the newly launched NATO DIANA open call and challenges!

Last year over 1300 companies applied and 44 were accepted. This year, DIANA has increased the number of challenge topics from three to five. More challenges, mean more companies will be accepted and if you didn’t make it last year, we encourage you to try again! The new challenges are:

• Energy and Power
• Data and Information Security
• Sensing and Surveillance
• Human Health and Performance
• Critical Infrastructure and Logistics

At the DIANA Estonian Accelerator virtual office hour, we’ll share experiences from last year and give you an overview of the program, challenges and application process. Learn about the benefits of DIANA, including funding, mentoring, testing facilities, and access to a network of investors and end-users.
