In December 2025, BruhnBruhn Innovation was selected as one of 150 companies joining the NATO DIANA 2026 Challenge Programme Cohort, chosen from a record 3,680 applicants across all 32 NATO nations.
BBI was selected under the Resilient Space Operations challenge area, with Dacreo apto as the qualifying technology. Dacreo apto is a Kubernetes-compatible spacestack that enables satellites to execute mission applications, process data in orbit, coordinate across distributed nodes, and operate autonomously during communication blackouts. It addresses exactly the challenge NATO identified: space systems that are as adaptive, secure, and software-defined as modern cloud infrastructure.
BBI will work with DIANA’s network of accelerators, test centres, and defence end-users to validate the technology against operational requirements and build pathways to Allied adoption.
