Product Highlights:
Project Mercury NATO is based on the very succesfull US Airforce & University of Michigan cooperation to provide facilitate innovation community building and upskilling to the US Airforce. We participated with team in cohort 9 (2022) and are now participating in cohort 12 (2023).
The goal of the project is to provide a common innovation framework to NATO and the nations so we can collaborate more efficient and in an interoperable way.
In 2024, we organized our first NATO Project Mercury Workshop in Warshaw and the first Project Mercury in NATO cohort with a jumpstart in AIRCOM (RAMMSTEIN).
For 2025, we have a jumpstart planned from 4-6 Feb in Brussels and a workshop will take place in May/June.
