We are thrilled to share that Spherical has been selected to join the 2025 cohort of the NATO DIANA accelerator. This milestone follows a highly competitive process, with more than 2,600 innovative ventures vying for a spot in this distinguished programme. Being chosen among only 74 successful candidates is an incredible honour for our team and a testament to the promise of our technology.
Our successful application focused on the Energy and Power Challenge, where Spherical's software-defined power systems for satellites demonstrated significant potential in both commercial and defense scenarios. Securing a place in the dual-use category underscores our commitment to creating robust, reliable, and versatile power solutions that can address critical needs across various sectors.
As part of the programme, Spherical continues iterating its technology, alongside training and insights from experts in technology, commercial development, and defence, and opportunities to test the technology in a variety of specialised environments. Spherical is paired with the WSL accelerator for on-the-ground training, development, and support.
DIANA was established by NATO in 2023 to tackle complex societal challenges through disruptive dual-use technologies. Working throughout the startup and entrepreneurial ecosystems of the 32 NATO Allies, DIANA aims to find and bring together innovative companies developing technologies that could solve key needs for the Alliance. Through public "Challenge" calls, each reflecting Allied priorities in defence, security, and resilience, innovators propose technological solutions with the potential to address the challenges and transform society.
