NATO's Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA) signed a memorandum of understanding with Ukraine at NATO headquarters on 29 October, the first such agreement with a partner nation, to help Ukrainian innovators meet NATO requirements, use DIANA test centres and overcome barriers to scaling. Acting managing director Jyoti Hirani-Driver said 'this Memorandum of Understanding is a beginning; a door is opening', but NATO's release names no signatory, test centres, funding or specific technology areas.
