Atomiver achieved a significant milestone in its mission to commercialize high-energy, high-power density GN3 nitrogen-doped graphene material: The project has been selected for support under the NATO DIANA acceleration programme.
The significance and potential impact of the GN3 technology are underscored by Atomiver’s acceptance into the NATO DIANA acceleration programme, which selected only 74 companies out of more than 2,600 applicants!
The NATO DIANA Accelerator Programme is designed to equip businesses with the skills and knowledge to navigate the world of deep tech, dual-use innovation. It provides an immersive curriculum and ‘boot-camp’ involving the NATO innovation network and strategic business partners from the commercial and defence markets.
DIANA is the only accelerator programme that serves as a blueprint for emerging and disruptive technology innovators to navigate the defence and security sector across NATO nations, while actively supporting the civilian commercial success of programme participants. DIANA leverages a unique transatlantic innovation ecosystem, bringing together the best and brightest from academia, industry, governments and investors to help founders build their companies, products and find adoption pathways. By providing a NATO-backed, dual-use curriculum, access to trusted venture capital, and exposure to Allied national initiatives, DIANA’s goal is to help start-ups to grow and establish themselves as resilient, successful participants in the commercial and defence markets.
Atomiver recently signed a licensing agreement with Palacký University, granting the company rights to utilize the university’s know-how in GN3 nitrogen-doped high energy material.
“Atomiver’s mission is to carry the high-energy graphene GN3 material forward to commercialization. It is a privilege to be selected among the few top organizations selected for the NATO DIANA acceleration programme funding. We’ve already received strong interest from commercial partners, and our immediate goals include closing the first investment round and establishing a robust supply chain within the European Union,” said Andrew Hladký, CEO of Atomiver.
