The UK Defence Innovation organisation, (UKDI), represents a transformative step in consolidating our defence innovation ecosystem under a single, coherent operating model.
The Open Call is looking for innovative ideas to improve the defence and security of the UK. Your idea could be a concept, product or service, at various levels of maturity.
The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) uses the Open Call for Innovation to find ideas that address challenges across both Defence and Security landscapes.
The UK accelerator has been chosen as one of the 13 affiliated accelerator sites participating in NATO DIANA’s 2025 accelerator programme.
This guidance explains our competition process and how your proposal is assessed.
