ArkeTelekom participated in the Cluster 1 Kick-Off Event organized within the scope of NATO’s innovation accelerator program DIANA, once again demonstrating its active role within the international defense and advanced technology ecosystem.

This first cluster meeting of the 2026 DIANA cycle was a significant event, with the cohort hosted by ODTÜ Teknokent and held at ODTÜ Teknokent CoZone. The event played a critical role in bringing participating companies together to share their roadmaps, explore collaboration opportunities, and make a strong start to the DIANA journey.

Focus on Collaboration and Innovation within Cluster 1

The DIANA Cluster 1 event enabled companies developing dual use technologies to come together and gain deeper insight into shared needs, technical expectations, and processes within the NATO ecosystem. Within the scope of the program, discussions focused on the structure and timeline of the DIANA process, test centers and technical validation opportunities, as well as mentorship and international collaboration prospects.

For ArkeTelekom, this gathering provided an important platform to present our advanced communications and defense technologies to international stakeholders, lay the foundations for potential partnerships, and initiate the DIANA journey with strong momentum.

Active Engagement Throughout the DIANA Program

At ArkeTelekom, we view the DIANA program not only as an acceleration initiative, but also as a strategic opportunity to integrate into the global defense and technology ecosystem. Following the Cluster 1 event, we will continue to closely monitor both technical developments and international collaboration opportunities throughout the program.

We will continue to share updates on DIANA events, meetings, and developments through our blog and LinkedIn page.
