Join us for the Defence Business Lab Demo Day, hosted by Tehnopol, Sparkup Tartu Science Park and EstBAN.

The event brings together 10 companies from the 2026 Defence Business Lab cohort and three alumni from the NATO DIANA Estonian Accelerator.

The technologies on display cover autonomous systems, counter-UAS solutions, maritime technologies, geospatial intelligence, secure communications, data-assisted decision-making, and more, with applications in defence, security and crisis preparedness.

Instead of traditional stage pitches, the Demo Day will feature an interactive showcase. Each team will present its technology at a demonstration table, giving investors, end-users and partners the opportunity to explore the solutions, meet the teams and discuss testing, use cases, investment and cooperation.

The 2026 cohort includes Skypiercer, Anti-Troll, Towerhouse, Sonic Dynamics, Passer Systems, Kappazeta, Cata Strato, Stickleback Robotics, Arx and Mindchip.

Joining them are three NATO DIANA Estonian Accelerator alumni: DATAMBIT from the United Kingdom, SkyFi from the United States and IS-Wireless from Poland.
