Activating Dormant Innovation: Unlocking Defence and Dual-Use IP to Drive UK Strategic Advantage and Economic Growth
With defence spending commitments rising to 5% across Europe, and the UK’s Defence and Economic Growth Taskforce urging a “Team UK” approach to unlock the sector’s full potential, the timing couldn’t be more critical to identify and drive forwards new innovations across the public and private defence sectors.
With introductory remarks from Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, CEO of Ploughshare, and Robin MacKenzie, Managing Director of The D Group, this Ploughshare-sponsored report by The D Group explores the new possibilities for emerging intellectual property (IP), and how to overcome the challenges currently holding some innovations back from reaching their full market potential. With a united approach, there are transformational opportunities to turn dormant technologies into real value – for people, defence and security, cyber security, healthcare, the planet, and the economy.
