In two weeks' time, DIANA will share it's second call for innovative technology companies working on solutions that could change the world.

Last year, there were answering more than 1300 innovators with ground-breaking deep technologies across three dual-use Challenges. 44 companies joined the pilot cohort, accelerating their businesses while increasing their networks across the Alliance. Check out what a few of these innovators had to say about DIANA in the video (https://lnkd.in/gdWM-w-3): Water Linked VanWyn Inc. IONATE Astrolight GaltTec REVOBEAM

More information:

  • The new challenges will be posted the first week of July on the DIANA website and on LinkedIn.
  • This year, the call will cover five Challenges, including similar themes to last year as well as two new dual-use focal areas.
  • If you submitted last year but were unsuccessful, we encourage you to try again.
  • You will have approximately six weeks to complete your initial applications, which will include a quad chart and short proposal.

With the countdown begun, DIANA hopes you consider joining them to tackle some of the world's most complex and pressing technological challenges. Together, we can help create a more peaceful and resilient global future!

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
