SUMMARY:SME Input into the Industrial Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of the last year\, TD-Info have been running a series of SME Showcase events\, designed to provide a platform for our SME’s to present their Defence Industry capabilities and experiences of working with the MOD and the Defence Industry. Through these events\, and other TD-Info facilitated SME engagement activities and conversations\, a number of themes have emerged\, around the challenges that SME’s face in the Defence Industry\, as well as the success stories that we have seen.  \nTo provide an opportunity for SME’s to input into the MOD’s new Defence Industrial Strategy\, TD-Info\, in conjunction with the MOD document authors\, are running an online Teams event on 4th December between 10am and 12 noon. This event is open to all TD-Info members\, and will aim to collate SME’s Defence business sector experiences for use in the Defence Industrial Strategy. The information obtained via the event may also be used for other purposes with the aim of improving the way MOD\, Defence Industry and SME’s work together.   \nThe government published its Industrial Strategy Green Paper in early October 2024. This event is an opportunity to provide feedback directly to MOD document authors\, which will in-turn contribute to the wider industrial strategy. \n4th December – Agenda: \n\n Introduction and aims of the event – 10 minutes\n The MOD perspective and input to the Defence Industrial Strategy – 10 minutes\nChallenges with establishing business in Defence – 40 minutes\n\nA facilitated discussion around obstacles to SME’s doing business in Defence\, with both the MOD and Defence companies – this can include commercial and other topics such as frameworks\, security clearance\, partnering etc\n\n\nSuccess stories where entry to the Defence Industry has gone well – 30 minutes\nExperience of doing business with other Government Departments\, and other Industries.
