ATO’s Allied Command Transformation launched the 14th edition of the NATO Innovation Challenge. This Innovation Challenge focuses on Remote Explosive-Contaminated Area Recognition and Neutralization, otherwise known as remote mine clearance operations.
What is the 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 offers the opportunity to develop their products. Ultimately, providing an opportunity for anyone who resonates with the top objectives of the Innovation Hub.
Identify solutions to mitigate/resolve Important NATO issues.
