Ploughshare was established in 2005 with a bold mission: to unlock the potential of Ministry of Defence (MOD) inventions and bring them to life in the real world. We have exclusive access to the UK government’s defence Intellectual Property (IP), and we have built a rare and powerful capability at the intersection of the public and private sectors. Our services are continually evolving, and we work with a wide range of partners to unlock new and innovative ideas to benefit national security, cyber security, people’s lives, and the planet.
With over 20 years of experience, we are the experts at navigating the complex journey of technology transfer and commercialisation – turning cutting-edge defence innovations into market-ready solutions that save lives, strengthen industries, and solve global challenges. Our people, processes, and partnerships are trusted by government and commercial clients alike to deliver impact – whether that’s developing new spin-out start-up companies, scaling breakthrough technologies, or creating new revenue streams from existing assets.
We believe world-changing ideas deserve world-class execution. That’s what we do.
