About DIANA

The Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) is NATO’s innovation accelerator: a shared endeavour bringing together innovators from across the 32 members of the Alliance to help NATO maintain its technological edge and preserve peace and security.

Crucial to this effort is a transatlantic network of 23 accelerator sites and 182 test centres. These are available to advise and support DIANA’s innovators – including providing world-class technical facilities for them to refine their ideas. This network will continue to grow over time.
