Krakow, known for its rich history and cultural heritage, is now becoming a hub for modern defense innovations. By joining forces with the Krakow Technology Park and the AGH University of Science and Technology, the city is entering the NATO DIANA network, offering an advanced program of incubation and acceleration. Krakow DIANA Accelerator is not just a state-of-the-art technological laboratory, but also a platform for idea exchange, collaboration, and development for scientists, innovators, and startups.
DIANA provides companies with the resources, networks and guidance to develop deep technologies to solve critical defence and security challenges, from operating in denied environments to tackling threats to our collective resilience.
Collaborating for security
Krakow DIANA Accelerator is not an ordinary research or technological project. It is an innovative initiative that combines scientific and technological expertise with the needs of the defense and military sectors. Through the DIANA network, Poland has the opportunity to enter the global defense innovation arena, offering its potentials and solutions in areas such as artificial intelligence, space, and quantum technologies.
The potential of polish Universities and Technology Parks
The inclusion of AGH and Krakow Technology Park in the DIANA program is not only a prestige for the Polish scientific community but also an opportunity to harness the rich research and innovative potential inherent in Polish universities and technology parks. Krakow DIANA Accelerator also presents an opportunity for Polish innovators who will be able to develop their ideas and technologies under the supervision of experts from the defense and military sectors. This project becomes a place where ideas transform into real solutions ready for implementation in both civilian and defense sectors.
Support for dual-use innovation
The aim of Krakow DIANA Accelerator is not only the development of cutting-edge technologies but also their adaptation and utilization for security and defense purposes. The acceleration program offers support not only for technological solutions but also for their business implementation. It’s a comprehensive approach aimed at turning ideas into actions, introducing new standards in the field of defense innovation.
Cooperation with NATO: A step into the future
The Polish branch of the NATO Defense Innovation Accelerator – Krakow DIANA Accelerator – is not only another step towards modern defense but also evidence of Poland’s potential in the field of innovation and technology. Engaging in global initiatives such as DIANA opens up new opportunities for Poland’s development and collaboration on the international stage.
Summary
Krakow DIANA Accelerator is not just another research or technological project. It is a manifestation of Poland’s determination in the field of defense innovation. It is also an opportunity to harness scientific and technological potential in the service of security and defense. Partnership with NATO is not only a commitment but also an opportunity to build a better and safer future for all.
