Defence Innovation Day 2026 brings together actors in defence, security and dual-use innovation to discuss current developments and cooperation opportunities. The programme looks at defence transformation, lessons from Ukraine, infrastructure protection, and the scaling of defence innovation. The event also includes a Demo Area for innovative companies to show their technologies.

The event is organised by Tehnopol together with the NATO DIANA Estonian Accelerator and is designed to connect research organisations, innovative companies, investors, public authorities and end-users working in defence and security. The programme includes keynotes, panel discussions and startup pitching sessions, with confirmed speakers from the Estonian Ministry of Defence, the Estonian Defence Forces and NATO DIANA.

The programme will address highly topical issues, including:

  • Who Builds, Who Scales: Inside Defence Innovation
  • Battlefield Innovation: Lessons from Ukraine
  • Protecting Society: From Hybrid Threats to Infrastructure Security
