NATO Innovation Challenge
The NATO Innovation Challenge was initiated in 2017, Its objective is aimed at resolving common Alliance and Nations operational problems efficiently and economically. It’s co-organized by the NATO Innovation Hub (Allied Command Transformation) and NATO Nations.
The NATO Innovation Challenge is open to all NATO Nations. However, it gives priority access to non-traditional innovators (academia, individuals, and start-ups), and expands NATO’s network and collaboration with industry and academia. The NATO Innovation Network strives to develop a shared culture of innovation among NATO Nations and inspire transformation as it provides visibility to participants and their solutions, and for the winners, it could potentially offer the opportunity to receive support to develop their products. Ultimately, providing an opportunity for anyone who resonates with the top objectives of the Innovation Hub.
