MISSION-CRITICAL INNOVATION


In a world of rapidly evolving threats and technological disruption, maintaining a strategic innovation advantage is paramount. The defense sector needs agile, resilient, and secure solutions that can be developed and deployed with speed and precision.

Let's hack!

Rapid Prototyping

We move beyond theory and PowerPoints. Participants will develop functional prototypes—from software applications and communication systems to hardware devices that will  be tested and validated by the end of the event.




Bridging the defence/civilian divide

Our hackathons bring together defence staff and civilian engineers, software and hardware experts, data scientists, entrepreneurs and researchers. This fusion of perspectives is the catalyst for breakthrough solutions that are both technologically advanced and operationally relevant.

Our method


Over the years we have developed a very specific (though very flexible) way of creating hackathons that work.

By combing the right people, the right process, and the right atmosphere we ensure solid results, every single time.

Fostering a Collaborative Defence Innovation Ecosystem

Dual Nexus is a strategic initiative designed to break down existing barriers and build essential connections within the European dual-use landscape. We function as a central hub facilitating dialogue, partnerships, and project development, creating a closely knit ecosystem that enables the free flow of knowledge and capital between four key communities: defence, businesses, investors, and academia.
