EVENTS

Having a strategy to grow into the defence sector is key, especially if this area is new to your business.

 

RTC North is working with Sci Tech Daresbury and defence sector supply chain specialists to deliver a morning of short introductions to key areas of the Defence Sector to help you identify opportunities and understand what you need to know to operate successfully within the sector.

 

This supportive, in person event will welcome businesses from the Northwest and beyond, including suppliers, manufacturers, technology companies, professional services, and organisations with capabilities that can translate into defence applications.

 

Attendees will gain new insights and understanding of the defence sector landscape, innovation opportunities, supply chain requirements, compliance processes, and cyber resilience.

 

Each introduction will be delivered by active and experienced industry organisations that support businesses to supply, pivot, and grow within the defence sector.

Following the event, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and network with the presenters during a light networking lunch.

 

NOTE: This event is targeted at supporting businesses that are new to, or in the early stages of entering, the defence sector. Relevant business support groups will be invited directly to ensure places remain available for businesses looking to attend.

 

AGENDA:

Over the course of the morning businesses will have the opportunity to network before we take to the conference suite to hear from a key selection of partners.

We have done our best to bring together relevant partners for the session – but we know there’s more. To support, following the event, the presentation deck will be shared with attendees, and will include information from organisations that we have been unable to accommodate in this session.
