NATO DIANA opens registrations for International Demo Days 2026
NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) has opened registrations for its International Demo Days 2026, held on 15 and 16 June in Paris. The deadline for expressions of interest is 5 June 2026.
The two-day programme brings together investors, defence stakeholders, government representatives and industry leaders to view dual-use technologies developed by DIANA’s 2026 innovator cohort of 150 companies. Day one is an opening reception at La Felicità in Paris. Day two runs at the Paris-Nord Villepinte exhibition centre, co-located with Eurosatory 2026, and includes product demonstrations, structured networking and a live demonstration hosted by the French Army General Staff.
“DIANA’s strength is the network behind the innovators: more than 200 test centres across the Alliance giving companies a route from prototype to operational testing. The 6G Test Centre at the University of Oulu contributes a dual-use validation environment focused on future communications, and Demo Days are a useful venue to meet the 2026 cohort and the wider DIANA community.”
Director Hannu Nikurautio, 6G Test Centre, University of Oulu
Confirmed Demo Days attendees receive complimentary access to Eurosatory for the full event week, 15 to 19 June.
The 6G Test Centre at the University of Oulu is a designated NATO DIANA test centre, part of a network of more than 200 facilities across the Alliance supporting dual-use innovators with validation environments and operational testing. Director Hannu Nikurautio attends Demo Days and is available to discuss the Test Centre’s role in DIANA, dual-use validation work, and partnership opportunities with the 2026 cohort.
