The NATO Innovation Challenge, launched in 2017 by Allied Command Transformation, catalyzes the discovery of novel, cost-effective solutions to the Alliance’s most pressing operational problems.
Held twice annually, each iteration of the challenge centres on a unique problem set and invites submissions from across NATO and partner nations, including startups, academic institutions, defence contractors, and research organizations.
Are you Up To the Challenge?
The NATO Innovation Challenge is a scenario-based challenge focused on solving common operational problems for NATO and NATO Nations efficiently and cost-effectively. These are co-organized by NATO ACT Innovation and NATO Nations. With two Innovation Challenges a year, each challenge focuses on a new topic and is hosted by a different NATO Nation.
