Phantom Photonics

?? ???? We are thrilled to announce that Phantom Photonics has been accepted into Phase 2 of the DIANA (Defence Accelerator for the North Atlantic)! Our journey through Phase 1 has been transformative, allowing us to grow our business, refine our product, and build an exceptional team. We've gained invaluable insights into the maritime sector and discovered a wealth of opportunities within the NATO Alliance. Our progress has been fundamentally supported by the Deep Tech Lab - Quantum acceleratorat the BioInnovation Institute in Denmark. The dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit of the Deep Tech Quantum team have been instrumental in guiding us through the DIANA program and helping us leverage its resources effectively. A heartfelt thank you to the talented companies we’ve had the pleasure of working alongside: Aquark Technologies, SECQAI, g2-Zero, Astrolight, and Qubitrium. Your innovation and camaraderie have made this experience truly remarkable. Here’s to the next phase of innovation and collaboration! #DIANA #DeepTechQuantum #Innovation #MaritimeTechnology #NATO #Startups #PhantomPhotonics

We are grateful to be a part of the QIC community, and looking forward to making inroads on advancing quantum technologies in Canada and abroad! ?????? Quantum Industry Canada

The first cohort of NATO DIANA phase 1 is coming to a completion. It has been great and transformative. I hope to embark unto phase 2 with both the companies that I have supported so far. There both have so much potential. In two weeks' time, DIANA will share the second call for innovative technology companies working on solutions that could change the world. If you want to know more: ? The new challenges will be posted the first week of July on NATO DIANA website and here on LinkedIn. ? This year, the call will cover five Challenges, including similar themes to last year as well as two new dual-use focal areas. ? If you submitted last year but were unsuccessful, DIANA encourage you to try again. ? You will have approximately six weeks to complete the initial applications, which will include a quad chart and short proposal. #WeAreNATO Astrolight and Phantom Photonics #Defence #Innovaiton
