The frontiers in innovation enabling rapid change - international Research & Development programmes

16 Mar 2023
Room C

FNATO DIANA Accelerator Estonia/Tehnopol Startup Incubator contribution overview:

• Startups, especially deep tech startups, are the true source of innovation but the risk is also high. Should one bother working with startup companies? If so, then why?
• Dual-use – why should a startup sector take an interest in working with the defense sector which is perceived as rather hard with long sales cycles, restrictions, and long go-to-markets?
• What happens if you push too strict rules on startups and why do they then choose another sector? How to overcome those obstacles?
• How governments/the public sector and startups can work together? What’s the value for both sides?
• NATO DIANA will be launched in 2023 – what value it will create for the defense sector and for startups?
