Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to continue providing funding for NATO's Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic into 2025/26.

The UK remains committed to funding NATO's Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA), as part of its wider commitment to NATO.

As the host of the European Regional Office of DIANA, the UK has been a champion of this initiative, additionally committing an affiliated UK Accelerator and bolstering access to national test centres across the UK to innovators and start-ups.

DIANA's success is essential to ensure NATO remains agile and responsive to technological threats and opportunities.
