DASA is set to host an Engagement Day event at Cranfield University to allow SMEs to present ideas to the MOD.

The Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) will host an Engagement Day at Cranfield University offering SMEs the opportunity to see how their business could work with the MOD. DASA is partnering with Cranfield University to hold an engagement day specifically aimed at small to medium-sized enterprises and academia.

Attendees will hear about current funding opportunities, gain advice on accessing mentoring and finance and have a chance to question the Armed Forces’ innovation hubs in a panel discussion. The purpose of the event is to inform suppliers, especially those less familiar with the defence environment, about how they can engage and support the Defence Innovation ecosystem, whether through DASA or through the Front Line Commands innovation hubs.

SMEs will have the opportunity of attending two of the three workshops taking place during the afternoon session. The event is on 11 February 2020 at Cranfield University.

DASA: Official partner of DPRTE 2020.

Workshop A: Funding your Innovation and Business

  • Early stage businesses frequently fail because they cannot access the capital needed to grow. The workshop will primarily focus on finding out what works best for you, what doesn’t work so well and how you would want the information shared in the future.

Workshop B: Optimising access to information around funding and opportunities

  • A discussion on how funding opportunities are currently shared across defence platforms. The workshop will primarily focus on finding out what works best for you, what doesn’t work so well and how you would want the information shared in the future.

Workshop C: Increasing the likelihood of MOD innovation exploitation through commercialisation

  • An opportunity for SMEs to understand and influence the work underway in MOD, and Industry Defence Supplier communities, to increase the likelihood of MOD investment in innovation, resulting in exploitable military capability.
