This spring, Kinnami Software Corporation took a major step in shaping the future of defense and mission-critical infrastructure by participating in the NATO Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). Through this renown accelerator, Kinnami delivered a clear message to NATO and its allies: resilient, secure, and portable data infrastructure is no longer optional—it is essential.
Why Kinnami Matters to NATO
Kinnami’s flagship platform, AmiShare, is built from the ground up to solve one of the most pressing challenges in defense and emergency operations: how to securely share, protect, and synchronize data in contested, disconnected, or compromised environments.

NATO’s modern operations increasingly demand:
Real-time access to trusted information in the field
Interoperability across forces and coalitions
Zero-trust data architectures that withstand cyber and kinetic threats
Resilient communication in low or no connectivity conditions
Kinnami meets these demands head-on.
🔗Embedded with NATO End Users
During the DIANA program, Kinnami heard directly from end-users and customers about their needs! Sujeesh Krishan, CEO, Dr. Guy Bunker (advisor) attended #WIDE25 being held at NATO Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum (JFCBS). There we spoke on information resilience and continuity of operations with NATO end users and how a secure data mesh can support resilient data sharing in tactical edge environments across a whole host of different military operational areas across NATO and Allied Partner nations. These engagements validated the operational value of AmiShare

Kinnami was also selected to present at the NCI Agency Academy in Portugal, underscoring its growing relevance within NATO’s cybersecurity and information architecture roadmap. We spoke about secure and resilient data management at the tactical edge where data centric security and AI is a major focus.
🚀Global Stage, Strategic Momentum
Kinnami's participation was more than symbolic—it led to concrete opportunities:
Presented at MassChallenge/DIU Demo Day in Boston
Showcased at DIANA’s International Demo Day in London
Proposed solutions under the U.S. Air National Guard AIM-HI
AmiShare’s presence on the DoD Tradewinds Marketplace and DARPA ERIS Marketplace further amplifies its role as a trusted platform for government adoption.
🔐A Technology Designed for Mission-Critical Use
AmiShare is not a traditional file-sharing or cloud solution. It is a secure, AI-orchestrated data mesh that:
Operates independently of persistent connectivity
Enables policy-based control and zero-trust security
Syncs and recovers data intelligently across distributed nodes
Supports both classified and unclassified information flows
This makes it an ideal solution for NATO environments ranging from disaster response to battlefield coordination to intelligence sharing across allies.
🔭 Looking Forward: Partnering for Resilience
Kinnami’s success in Phase 1 of the NATO DIANA Accelerator lays the groundwork for deeper collaborations. As our CEO Sujeesh Krishnan noted, “This is not just about innovation. It’s about equipping our allies with the resilient digital infrastructure they need to respond to tomorrow’s challenges.”
