The Challenge 2026

The DualTech Challenge will be returning for its third year in person at ITEC 2026. Building on the momentum from ITEC 2025, in collaboration with the 6G Test Centre located at the University of Oulu, a NATO DIANA test centre, two challenge areas were outlined. These areas called for individuals and teams to showcase their solutions beyond the realms of the defence training sector to address real-world issues faced by today's end-users. 

The 2024 winner Tim Colebrooke hosted as our 2025 finalists took to the stage to present their solutions to our three esteemed judges, Vice Admiral (Retd.) Duncan Potts, Andy Fawkes and Grant Burgham and our audience in the DualTech Theatre.

We are delighted to announce that the 2025 Winner of the Challenge is Or Ben-Shabat from the Digital Combat Academy. As the winner, The Digital Combat Academy has won space at our 2026 show in London.

Submissions for the DualTech Challenge 2026 will be opening soon, so stay tuned for next year's challenge announcement. If you are interested in getting involved please contact us here.
