Defence Innovation Day

Defence starts here! 🌍📢

Join us for Defence Innovation Day on 22 September, where the boldest minds in defence, technology, and investment come together to explore how innovation is reshaping the future of security across the NATO alliance and beyond.

Kicking off Estonian Defence Week, the event will examine the key forces driving defence transformation, from cross-border collaboration in the Baltic region to breakthrough funding models and the evolving relationship between industry primes and startups.

If you work in emerging tech, defence, or are simply curious about how innovation is shaping Europe’s security landscape – this event is for you.

Defence Innovation Day offers a dynamic platform for startups, scale-ups, governments, and industry players to exchange ideas, showcase cutting-edge solutions, and build meaningful partnerships. The programme includes keynote presentations, panel discussions, live demos, and targeted networking opportunities – all with a focus on accelerating capability development.
