PENDING BUDGET APPROVAL

1. SUMMARY


The Emerging Security Challenges ( ESC ) Division provides a coordinated approach for NATO to the emerging security challenges of the 21st Century.

It serves as NATO HQ's focal point for innovation, cyber and hybrid, energy, data science and counter-terrorism.

The Division also promotes security cooperation on these challenges through a variety of programmes in NATO, with Partner nations, and with other International Organisations.


The Innovation Unit at NATO Headquarters is responsible for driving forward innovation, helping to ensure that the Alliance understands the policy and practical implications—both opportunities and risks—of emerging and disruptive technologies.

The Unit helps identify innovation priorities to pursue to foster the adoption of emerging and disruptive technologies and protect the Alliance from risks posed in this space.

The Unit contributes to eliminating barriers to innovation, whether these are policy or process-related constraints.


The Unit plays a key role in the establishment and development of the NATO Innovation Fund and in support of the NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA).


  • The Unit coordinates and seeks maximum synergies with other entities playing leading roles in innovation

Key entities include:

national administrations and innovation bodies in Allied countries; private sector (start-ups; risk capital; and established tech companies); academia; and other NATO entities playing leading roles in innovation such as the Conference of National Armaments Directors/Defence Investment Division, Allied Command Transformation, and the NATO Science and Technology Organization.
