SHAPING TOMORROW'S SECURITY LANDSCAPE WITH INNOVATION, RAPID ACQUISITION & ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY DEPLOYMENT
The highly interactive Defence Transformation conference returns for its 9th year, enabling a broad spectrum of the defence tech ecosystem to frame the emerging strategy and evaluate developing solutions that meet the needs of tomorrow’s operational environments.
Join us in London as we welcome an audience of military leaders, government officials, defence consultants, and industry experts to discuss key themes such as Adaptation & Integration, and Human-Centric Defence.
There is much going on the world of Defence Transformation as events in both Ukraine and the levant remind us. Much of that transformation is related to dual-use tech rather than traditional military hardware, though the need for that has not gone away.

With the continued progress in defence tech, it is more important than ever to come together to rethink the strategies and policies that are used to integrate necessary capabilities in order to retain the technological advantage over adversaries. The UK boasts a S&T superpower and continues to advance capabilities and it is therefore essential to bring key stakeholders together to explore how the nation will operationalise these advancements at a rapid pace.
