We recently spent an insightful day attending the Dual-Use Maritime Technology event, hosted by KPMG and attended by enterprise leaders, investors, and SMEs from across the maritime domain, to explore how we can work together to keep the UK at the forefront of innovation.

The event, which took place at the National Maritime Systems Centre at QinetiQ’s site at Portsdown Technology Park near Portsmouth, reinforced the importance of capital and the power of partnerships to create exploitation pathways driving technology into capability. 

From discussing investment drivers to exploring new exploitation pathways - the energy around UK maritime innovation is incredible.

Investment in dual-use technology is a key driver for war fighting readiness, economic growth and improving resilience.

We are proud to be part of an ecosystem that’s committed to driving technology into capability to keep the UK resilient and secure.
