Defence Transformation 2025: One Month to Go
The countdown is on. In just one month, Defence Transformation 2025 opens its doors in London, bringing together senior leaders from defence ministries, armed forces, and industry to tackle the future of defence innovation, acquisition, and operational readiness.
Taking place on 3–4 December at the Copthorne Tara Hotel, this year’s event is co-located with the Uncrewed and Autonomous Systems conference, offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of emerging technologies and strategic transformation.
What to Expect
This year’s programme focuses on shaping tomorrow’s security landscape through innovation, rapid acquisition, and enhanced technology deployment. With the war in Ukraine and growing instability across multiple regions, defence organisations are under pressure to adapt faster than ever.
Key themes include:
- Accelerating the integration of dual-use technologies
- Operationalising the UK’s science and technology edge
- Human-centric defence transformation
- Deploying cyber, AI, and autonomous systems at scale
