A Saturday edition of Laowai.... Solving hard problems. DIU 3.0 "While much has been written on the innovation valley of death across the US government, or the inability to access detailed problem sets in classified environments, or the bloated defense budgets and bureaucracy, little has been written on product-market fit which is key for speed and scale. Maybe DIU 3.0 aims to address this. Technology companies have been doing this for decades. The free market allows this to flourish. If there is no fit, there is no revenue. No revenue, no lights!"  #duause #defensetech #innovation #southflorida #economicgrowth #usa Laowai Enterprises Stony Lonesome Group LLC Grayline Group eMerge Americas Freedom First RTB Ventures FedLearn Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) Aditi Kumar

The Ministry of Defence submitted Finland’s proposal to NATO - Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA)’s Board of Directors in July 2023. The Ministry of Defence will act as the national single point of authority responsible for the project. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland coordinated the preparation of Finland’s proposal in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment. In accordance with Finland’s proposal, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland will establish an accelerator in Otaniemi in Espoo in collaboration with Aalto University and the University of Helsinki. The new accelerator will focus on next generation communications and on quantum technology. It will offer companies mentorship in business development in the defence sector. Primary customers of the accelerator will be startups and small- and medium-sized companies that have little experience of working with the defence and security sectors. https://lnkd.in/dCh69FeN
