Agenda

SME Input into the Industrial Strategy
2024-12-04 10:00 - 12:00
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.
To 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.
The 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.
4th December – Agenda:

Introduction and aims of the event – 10 minutes
The MOD perspective and input to the Defence Industrial Strategy – 10 minutes
Challenges with establishing business in Defence – 40 minutes

A 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

Success stories where entry to the Defence Industry has gone well – 30 minutes
Experience of doing business with other Government Departments, and other Industries. The differences between them and the MOD – 20 minutes
Conclusions and final inputs – 10 minutes

This event will take place online, via MS Teams on 4th December, 10:00 – 12:00.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact andy.whatman@teamdefence.info
(Please note that this event is only open to the TD-Info Membership)
