When you join DIANA's Accelerator Programme as an innovator, you learn a wide variety of skills and build an Alliance-wide network to help grow your company. It might not be the first thing you think of when you're developing your technology, but legal essentials are key to business success. In our first cohort, DIANA partnered with leading law firms that delivered top-notch legal lectures to our innovators on a range of topics relevant to start-ups and technology developers. DIANA's legal team is pleased to thank: WilmerHale (US), McInnes Cooper (CA), Sidley Austin LLP (UK), PIERSTONE | Brussels (BE), Skadden Law Firm (GE), Reddie & Grose Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys (UK), Kinstellar (CZ), Arnold & Porter (US), and Bird & Bird (UK). Your expertise and support for DIANA has been vital to the success of DIANA's first accelerator curriculum. Just nine days left to submit your proposal to join the next cohort of innovators.

Big news! We're thrilled to work with venture and capital leaders from around the world to help fulfil our mission. Check out this announcement from Paladin Capital Group. 🤝
Following the 2024 NATO Summit, we are excited to announce that Paladin Capital Group is joining the Allied Capital Community of NATO's Defense Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). As part of this partnership, we signed onto DIANA's Allied Capital Community Investment Principles, and our Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director @Chris Steed will join DIANA's Venture Advisory Board. You might notice that DIANA's investment principles reflect some of our own Principles and Commitments on Trust, Safety, and Security that we introduced at the White House National Security Council in March. This alignment makes it clear that putting trust, safety, and security at the center of technological innovation is gaining steam and we are proud to be driving it forward with democracies across the globe. https://lnkd.in/eX3RxJ3e
