Canadian Innovators Join NATO DIANA 2025 Cohort
On December 12, 2024, Minister Bill Blair announced that seven Canadian innovators have been selected to join the 2025 NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) cohort. These companies, including Quantropi and Synaptrain Technologies Inc., focus on data security, logistics, and human performance. This selection provides these firms with funding and access to NATO's network of accelerators and test centers. The initiative aims to enhance the development and testing of technologies critical to national security and defence.
