Dear innovation practitioner,

Welcome to the registration platform for the NATO Open Innovation Conference & Expo 2025.

NOICE2025 is at full capacity, and registrations have closed.

NOICE25 will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from June 2-4 2025 and we are excited to bring you the latest developments on military innovation within the Alliance!

We will hear from our military leadership from Allied Command Transformation, NATO HQ and our Danish hosts, engage in panel discussions with experts, and dive into the Danish innovation and collaboration model.

The conference schedule is available on this platform for registered attendees.

Innovation knows no spectators, so we invite YOU to bring your experience, and we'll match that effort with ours!

We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen in June!
