We are proud to announce that our company has been selected to participate in the 2026 NATO DIANA Challenge Programme, joining a cohort of 150 pioneering companies from 24 NATO countries, selected from more than 3,680 applicants.
Our project is part of the Human Resilience & Biotechnology challenge area and focuses on the development of a portable, ultra-fast and ultra-sensitive bioluminescence reader. This innovative device is designed to enable high-performance immunoassays for NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) risk management, addressing critical needs in detection, preparedness, and response in high-risk environments.
By combining cutting-edge bioluminescence technology with portability and speed, our solution aims to deliver rapid, reliable, and field-deployable analytical capabilities, supporting timely decision-making in operational and emergency contexts.
We are delighted to collaborate with the NATO DIANA team and to contribute our expertise at the intersection of biotechnology, instrumentation, and human resilience. We look forward to the coming months of collaboration, innovation, and impact.
