The event will feature several problem pitches delivered by the Defence and industry aligned with the STaR Shot missions and the Next Generation Technologies Fund areas.

These problems will be then challenged by the expert audience during the workshop and will form the basis of the call for proposals through the DIN Pilot Project grants.

Attendees will have an opportunity to understand the problems better, connect with like-minded people and find collaborators for their projects.

• New Advanced Materials for Helmet Systems
• Edge AI-Enabled UAVs with Minimal Communication
• AI-Designed Camouflage System
• Rapid Identification Technology for Pathogen Detection
• Models for Rapid Prediction and Characterisation of Hazards in Urban Environment
