Great to see NATO DIANA's formal expansion into North America! They continue to be a strong collaboration partner and thought leader.
Today was another exciting milestone for DIANA, as we were in Halifax to open the North American Headquarters. As Managing Director Deeph Chana PhD Chana said, “Tapping into the North American research and innovation capacity, as well as the commercial and defence markets across the continent. Halifax will play a vital role in strengthening connections and ensuring that this is truly a pan-Alliance innovation endeavour.” DIANA and the Government of Canada also announced the appointment of Major General Paul Peyton as DIANA's Military Deputy Director, North America. He will be instrumental in strengthening pathways between innovative technologies and defence applications in North America, and throughout the Alliance. Alongside London and Tallinn, Halifax will become a key collaboration centre for DIANA. COVE is joining DIANA’s accelerator network to deliver acceleration programming for our incoming innovators. COVE will work with new DIANA innovators beginning in January 2025. Thank you to Minister Sean Fraser, Parliamentary Secretary Marie-France Lalonde, Melanie Nadeau, P.Eng. ICD.D., Phantom Photonics, Viki Lamaye, and DIANA's Canadian board member Philippe Hébert for your participation today. We look forward to growing the North American DIANA presence.

I recently released the Navigation Plan for America’s Warfighting Navy, and for #FoundationFriday, I’m emphasizing my project 33 target to “restore critical infrastructure” that generates, sustains, and postures the force for the fight. Shore readiness is essential for getting more players on the field to fight and win. This is true across the world. In any potential conflict, we will rely on a global network of installations, dry docks, and other facilities to generate and sustain ready forces, and that is the reason I prioritize Foundation as we prepare our Navy to fight and win anywhere in the world.

Great to see Jeremy Hitchcock and Jessica Nelson represent New North Ventures in Lithuania! Growing the dual-use VC ecosystem and building bridges with key allied partners.
The good deed has been done. Super thankful to the audience for good questions and for all my supporters who helped me make this event happen. While four hours just scratched the surface of everything I need founders to equip themselves with, it is a good start. We will do more events like this. Ačiu ir važiuojam!

Was honored to represent New North Ventures at a roundtable hosted by Beacon Global Strategies and Paladin Capital Group last week with Deputy Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center Laura D. and Office of the Director of National Intelligence Director of the Office of Economic Security and Emerging Technology (OESET) Casey Blackburn. We discussed below recently released bulletin on the methods foreign threat actors are employing to exploit early-stage investment in U.S. emerging tech startups and guidance to mitigate these threats. Many thanks to Julie Grundman, Senior Vice President of Beacon Global Strategies, and Kemba Walden, President of Paladin Global Institute, for moderating a thought-provoking discussion that helped drive some strong recommendations. If you are a startup or in VC, I urge you to read the bulletin and stay tuned for more guidance to follow from ODNI and NCSC in the coming weeks. #trustedcapital #duediligence #cybersecurity #publicprivatepartnerships #newnorthventures
