In February 2023, the Defence Innovation Research Institute Nonprofit Ltd (DIRI) was established. According to its concept, the DIRI is dedicated to mapping dual-use technologies, i.e. those that can be used for civilian and military purposes alike, and to supporting their defence-related utilization. Further tasks of the new organization include interministerial cooperation, international embeddedness and the specification of long-term development goals. The Minister of Defence exercises the ownership rights of the new company.
