The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is hosting industry events to discuss the new and exciting NATO initiative, the Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).

The events will give attendees the opportunity to meet the UK DIANA team and learn about the DIANA vision through high-level briefing sessions on:

  • the DIANA Accelerator
  • the Defence BattleLab
  • the Future DIANA elements

When and where will the events take place?

Three events are scheduled at different locations throughout the UK:

  • 2 February 2023 - The Defence Battlelab, Dorset
  • 8 February 2023 - techUK, London
  • 14 February 2023 - The Calalyst, Newcastle upon Tyne

The initial events are to get industry feedback, from SMEs in particular, at this early stage while the initiative is developing, and there will be more opportunities to get involved with DIANA soon.

How to Register

The events are free to attend and places are limited to 50 attendees so early registration is advised to avoid disappointment. If you haven’t already, please sign up and complete the online registration form here to attend one of our upcoming events.

These events have proved very popular, so we have waiting lists in place for some locations. Even if you are unable to attend an event, we will make sure any information discussed at the events are made available to you. If you have any comments, email accelerator@dstl.gov.uk.

Please keep an eye on our social media channels for the latest DIANA news. As DIANA progresses, we hope that you will help us make the initiative a success.
