​Join us for an insightful session exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of defence, aerospace, and dual-use innovation.

Attendees will gain practical insights into how to position their technologies, prepare for engagement, and successfully work within this complex and highly specialized sector.

​Featuring perspectives from leaders active in defence and dual-use portfolios, the discussion will cover:

  • ​Emerging opportunities in defence, aerospace, and dual-use innovation

  • ​How companies can prepare to enter and succeed in this market

  • ​What procurement processes look like and how to engage effectively
