Twenty Canadian firms have been chosen for NATO’s largest-ever cohort of its Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic, a program linking startups with military users, mentors, investors, and test facilities. Selected companies include Avivo Biomedical, developing universal-blood technology, and Alchemy, working on thermal camouflage, alongside Canadian Space Mining Corporation and Volta Space Technologies.
They join 150 companies from 24 NATO nations drawn from nearly 3,700 applicants. Beginning January 2026, participants receive funding and access to accelerator sites and more than 200 test centres. Technologies span communications, autonomy, biotech, energy, and space. Reaction Dynamics and Tactiql advanced earlier this year.
