This project aims to support the strategic alignment of the traditional (Military, Government and Industry) and non-traditional defence stakeholders (Venture Capital, Entrepreneurs and Academia). International competitors can develop and adopt innovation faster than the UK given their faster moving, more responsive innovation ecosystems. We are in a period of rapid change, and if the UK is to keep pace, it mustreorient its innovation ecosystem. The purpose of this project is to helpcrystalise some short-medium term goals, shifting incentives and mobilising theinnovation ecosystem towards agility and collaboration. The format is a panel discussion and Q/A session followed by networking drinks. The aim is to bring people from across the innovation ecosystem together –hopefully new connections will be made and solutions discussed!
The full panel is: Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE, Ploughshare, CEO Simon Harwood, Leonardo, UK Capability and Innovation Managing Director Catherine Lewis La Torre, British Patient Capital, former CEO Daniel Sawyers, jHub, Head Tim Stringer, Skyral, Head of Defence and Government Accounts John Macdonald, D Group, Programme and Content Director (Chair)
About the event: We will invite panellists to speak for a few minutes each on their perspective. We will then move to a chaired Q/A session with opportunities for the audience to ask questions.
