SkyFi Among 15 Innovators in NATO DIANA Mission Track Cohort
Earth intelligence platform advances AI-enabled decision support for the Alliance
AUSTIN, Texas, September 2, 2026: SkyFi, the leading Earth intelligence platform, is part of the Mission Track of the NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). SkyFi advanced to Mission Track in June as one of the first five companies. NATO DIANA has now added ten more, completing the 15-company cohort.
Mission Track is the adoption-focused stage of the DIANA Accelerator Programme. It moves validated technologies toward operational use across the 32-nation Alliance. The 15 companies come from DIANA's 2026 cohort of 150 innovators. That cohort was selected through a challenge call that drew more than 3,600 proposals. The Mission Track companies are based in 10 countries across the Alliance.
Companies in Mission Track receive non-dilutive funding, continued access to NATO test centers, and tailored support to accelerate adoption. The selected innovators are already collaborating with militaries and the defense industry across the Alliance. They are now focused on scaling their solutions.
SkyFi is advancing its work under the Data Assisted Decision Making challenge. The company is developing its AI-enhanced geospatial platform to analyze multi-modal data for decision support in contested environments. The goal is faster, decision-ready insight for Alliance planning and operational resilience.
"Mission Track is where our technology meets real operational demand," said Kate van Dam, Head of Global Strategy and Growth at SkyFi. "We are proud to advance alongside this cohort. We look forward to putting decision-ready insight "in the hands of Alliance end-users where decisions are made"
