The Challenge 2026

The DualTech Challenge will be returning for its third year in person at ITEC 2026, in collaboration with Dstl, the UK Ministry of Defence's in-government science and technology organisation.

The Challenge is an initiative set to uncover innovative solutions from beyond the traditional defence sector. We invite individuals, teams and organisations to bring forward innovative ideas that could help address existing gaps faced by end users.

Submissions for the DualTech Challenge 2026 are now open. 

Submissions will be assessed by Dstl and Front Line Command Stakeholders. Three finalists will be selected by a Dstl-led judging panel to showcase their innovations live on stage at ITEC 2026.
