Much like Canada, our allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are looking to keep pace with emerging and disruptive technologies. That’s why NATO is establishing the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic, or DIANA. DIANA will offer novel innovation programming across the Alliance, which will look to take advantage of the opportunities and counter the threats presented by cutting edge technology.   The Director General Research & Development Innovation (DGRDI) team from the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) and staff from NATO DIANA will be holding virtual information sessions on DIANA and how it can benefit Canadian innovators, starting April 25, 2023.   As Canada is a NATO member, Canadian innovators will be eligible to participate in all processes initiated by DIANA. Upon selection by the program, innovators will also be provided access to a network of accelerators and test centres across more than 20 allied nations in North America and Europe.   The following information sessions are available for interested Canadian innovators. No registration is required for these sessions, however there is a cap of 1000 participants per session. Should you not be able to attend one of the sessions below, there will be a recording made available.
