Our aim was to contribute to the development of the UK’s industrial strategy and ensure Defence has a strong voice in this important area. As the financial settlement process moves forward\, we’re keen to keep the conversation active. \nJoin us for the Snack Series—a rapid-fire set of expert-led sessions that dive into the most urgent challenges and strategic opportunities across the UK’s critical materials ecosystem. \nFrom policy to platforms\, e-waste to innovation funding\, this series brings together voices across government\, industry\, and academia to shape a more circular\, resilient\, and sovereign defence future. \nWhy Attend?• Get insights into policy\, innovation\, and supply chain resilience• Hear from leaders shaping the future of defence and critical materials• Connect across disciplines—from recyclers and researchers to strategists and policymakers \nEach session features a 20-minute presentation from leading organisations\, followed by a 40-minute panel Q&A. Sessions will explore:• Global supply chain risks• UK capability and innovation• Priority Defence use cases \nContent will focus on real insights and lessons—not sales pitches—with case studies encouraged. No prior defence knowledge required; many challenges are cross-sector. \nWhy It MattersNew mining is costly\, slow\, and environmentally challenging. Reclaiming materials from end-of-life equipment could offer a faster\, cheaper\, and greener path. Let’s mine our waste—not the planet. \nGet Involved \nJoin the conversation. Shape the future. Spread the word. \nWant to stay informed or take part? Sign up now to receive invites and materials \nBy signing up you will receive diary invites to these sessions and will also receive invites to any subsequent workstreams/presentations. \nIf you would like further information please contact steve.green@teamdefence.info \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nRegister here URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/critical-raw-materials-for-defence-online-snack-series-session-11/ LOCATION:Virtual – MS Teams CATEGORIES:Critical Raw material,RTI,RTI-Public,Sustainable Defence Support,Sustainable Defence Support -Public END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260602T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260603T170000 DTSTAMP:20260406T202043 CREATED:20260105T115236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260402T114807Z UID:249932-1780390800-1780506000@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:AdM as a Service Challenge Working Groups (Pj TAMPA) June Event DESCRIPTION:The second Additive Manufacturing as a Service Challenge (a.k.a Project TAMPA) Face-to-Face Working Group Event of the year will be held on between 2nd and 3rd of June 2026 at the NEC in Birmingham and will form part of a wider event\, TCT 3Sixty.
