Why aren’t we fully leveraging the IP that already exists – translating it into deployable capability and commercial success?
At this private event, hosted by Ploughshare and The D Group, we’ll reveal fresh insights from a powerful coalition of voices across government, defence, academia, and regional growth hubs.
This is more than a launch – it’s a rallying point for those serious about driving growth and strategic advantage in the UK defence sector.
Please note that this event will take place within the DSEI conference, and only DSEI attendees will be able to participate. We cannot arrange passes for others to join.
