DIANA Challenges: Secure Information Sharing - Truly Reliable & Unquestionably Secure Technology

If your company has a disruptive, dual-use tech solution related to secure information sharing, read on!
For this DIANA challenge to innovators, we are looking for ways of creating a secure and trusted information environment - with the emphasis on live data streams such as those used to provide near real-time video, augmented reality feeds, digital radio and more. Of particular interest are hardware and software solutions that operate over open networks and that can function in ‘austere’ or ‘disadvantaged’ environments. By secure information sharing, we mean the ability to exchange data and content with others safely, without the risk of interference by malicious actors. However, while protecting document-based information transfer in an office environment is important, it is a simpler task than securing multiple forms of information flow when working in the field or on the move, as is often the case with first-responders, peacekeeping forces and the military.
DIANA’s pilot challenges to deeptech startups and other innovators are open until 25 August 2023. Companies selected to participate in our accelerator programmes receive a comprehensive support package, including:
· Non-dilutive grants of EUR 100,000 to support technology development and demonstration, and participation in the six-month DIANA accelerator bootcamp programme (following a second competitive selection, participants may receive up to EUR 300,000 for an additional six-month scale-up accelerator programme)
· 11 accelerators across the Alliance (with more planned over the coming years)
· 90+ test centres (with more planned) across the Alliance where entrepreneurs can de-risk, and demonstrate and validate their proposed dual-use technological solutions
· mentoring from scientists, engineers, industry partners, operational end users, and government procurement experts
· an investor network for trusted third-party funding
· opportunities to demonstrate technology in operational environments
· pathways to market within the NATO enterprise and 31 (soon to be 32) Allied national markets
