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.

Only senior MOD leaders and decision‑makers responsible for Defence’s future energy and resilience requirements will be present\, ensuring focused\, high‑value discussion throughout. \nThe Defence Energy Conference 2026 brings partners together to build shared clarity joining defence\, energy resilience and industrial capability. In a complex and uncertain environment\, no single organisation holds the full picture. Progress depends on collaboration\, openness and a common understanding of how energy-related activity connects across the system. \nThe conference provides a structured forum for defence\, allies\, partners\, industry\, finance and academia to align perspectives\, share insight and explore credible pathways forward. Grounded in the operational realities of our developing operating context\, it supports clearer connections between innovation\, infrastructure\, supply chains and future capability needs. \nThe intent is to strengthen coherence: helping partners understand where their efforts intersect\, where dependencies exist\, and how collective action can improve resilience over time. By improving shared understanding and coordination\, the conference supports more confident decision-making and a stronger foundation for future energy-related activity across defence and its partners. \nStrategic Coherence in UK Defence\, Energy and Industrial Policy (2025–26) \nPurpose and importance – Since early 2025\, UK strategy has shifted toward a more integrated view of national security\, resilience and industrial capacity. Defence\, energy and economic policy are no longer treated as parallel tracks but as interdependent parts of a single system operating under sustained uncertainty. This creates both pressure and opportunity for defence. The importance lies not in confirmed programmes or funding lines\, but in the growing expectation that defence will articulate its needs in ways that shape wider national priorities\, investment logic and industrial behaviour. \nKey defence implications – For defence\, the implication is a stronger role in setting direction rather than reacting to supply. Energy security and resilience\, infrastructure dependence and industrial capacity are increasingly recognised as national security concerns\, giving defence greater influence over cross-government thinking. The opportunity is to translate operational energy realities into clear capability signals that inform industrial strategy\, innovation focus and long-term resilience planning. Anchored by UK Ministry of Defence\, defence can act as a convenor and system integrator\, shaping shared understanding of risk\, dependency and priority rather than relying on fragmented\, short-term solutions. \nTD-Info Contacts: sue.russell@teamdefence.info\, kelly.gough@teamdefence.info\, demi.bowler@teamdefence.info \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSponsor/Exhibit here\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \nDownload Exhibitor Terms & Conditions\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Receive Email UpdatesUnsubscribe\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Quick Links\nHomeAboutAreas Of FocusInformationSupportMember PoliciesProjectsGovernanceNewsContact \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Contact us\nBy Telephone+44 (0)1454 410 550 \nBy E-mailadmin@teamdefence.info \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\nTeam Defence Information6a Pinkers CourtBriarlands Office ParkGloucester RoadRudgewayBristolBS35 3QH \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n UKCeB trading as Team Defence Information (TD-Info). © 2021 All Rights Reserved | UKCeB.

Organisationally\, the ICEF is managed under the TD-Info Delivery Continuity Executive and reports to TD-Info MD. \nThe ICEF brings together individuals from Industry partners who have day-to-day responsibility for using – or managing the provision of – MOD-delivered services. This function is managed collaboratively with representatives from the MOD Defence Digital Customer Management team responsible for ‘Indirect’ (i.e. non-MOD) customers. Defence Digital (DD) recognises that Industry represents a significant proportion – roughly one third – of total users of DD-delivered IS/IT. Taking a risk management approach\, the ICEF identifies opportunities to improve awareness of\, and mitigation for\, availability issues that might impact adversely on Defence outcomes. \nThe TD-Info ICEF lead: \n\nmanages a 6-weekly (approx..) rhythm of meetings for ICEF members\nliaises\, as Industry representative on the MOD 1* Customer Board\nconducts a regular drumbeat with DD ACOS Plans and Customer Services team\nprioritises risks/issues affecting suppliers’ ability to deliver against agreed contracts\nidentifies mitigation activities for MOD consideration.\nMaintains the ICEF risk register\npublishes services-to-industry product descriptions and supporting management processes\n\nIn support of the DCE\, the ICEF lead manages the change process for MOD-originated information services. Specific activities include: \n\nimproving awareness of planned changes to MOD-supplied information flows\, applications\, products and services for the Industry customer\nidentify potential impact on industry and work with MOD ICEF members to identify options for mitigating the consequences of the proposed (or executed) change\nco-ordinate industry inputs and manage the resolution of unplanned/unforeseen events that impact project delivery\nescalate major issues or observations to the DD Customer Board and/or DD ACOS Plans. Conversely risks or issues may also be escalated to the DSF via the DCE\n\nThe purpose of the Information Security Forum (ISF) is to provide better ways of working securely across Team Defence by identifying key issues and agreeing on common approaches to resolution by sharing good practice\, collaborating on accreditation standards\, providing a practical (and compliant) interpretation of Government policy\, and sharing event and near-miss data. \nThe ISF collaboratively develops guidance\, influences policy and communicates key messages to members and\, where appropriate\, broader stakeholders on Information Security and Assurance matters. \nThis meeting will be held In-person at TD-Info Offices and virtually using Microsoft Teams. Group members will be sent the link to join the meeting. \nThese are both closed groups\, however if you wish to participate or would like further information please contact Andy Corbett URL:https://www.teamdefence.info/event/icef-information-security-forum-2/ LOCATION:TD-Info\, 6A Pinkers Court\, Briarlands Office Park\, Bristol\, BS35 3QH\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:CoP,ICEF,ISF,Members Only,Public Working Groups END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260507T100000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260507T110000 DTSTAMP:20260407T191143 CREATED:20260330T141622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260330T143040Z UID:250557-1778148000-1778151600@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Adaptive Capacity Alliance Inaugural meeting DESCRIPTION:The Adaptive Capacity Vision \n What: \n Harness industrial capacity to complement and mitigate shortfalls in organic SB capabilities to enable military deployments at pace and scale.

Some natural capital assets provide people with free goods and services\, often called ecosystem services and Infrastructure – the basic physical and organisational structures and facilities (e.g. buildings\, roads\, power supplies) needed for the operation of a society or enterprise. \nHow we operate \n\nOur community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a common concern\, a set of problems\, or an interest in a topic and who come together to fulfil both individual and group goals.\nCommunities of practice often focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance a domain of professional practice. Interaction on an ongoing basis is an important part of this.\nOur community of practice relies on face-to-face meetings as well as web-based collaborative environments to communicate\, connect and conduct community activities.\n\nWhy get involved? \nYour contribution will enable you to understand the direction of travel from within Defence\, shape\, influence and assist MOD in its future direction for Natural Capital & Infrastructure. There is also a connection to work as part of a team with equally capable and knowledgeable organisations within Defence and the wider digital community. This is an opportunity for wider industry experience and best practice to be showcased within the Defence environment. \nThis will enable: \n\nUnderstanding of how focus areas will interact to realise a future end state.\nArticulation of requirements for capability across the enterprise\nDevelopment of capability roadmaps\nAlignment\, pull through and learning from representative capabilities.\n\nAssessment of potential solutions and recommendations for future development \nThe next meeting for the NC&I Cop will be taking place on 10th June 2026.

Organisationally\, the ICEF is managed under the TD-Info Delivery Continuity Executive and reports to TD-Info MD. \nThe ICEF brings together individuals from Industry partners who have day-to-day responsibility for using – or managing the provision of – MOD-delivered services. This function is managed collaboratively with representatives from the MOD Defence Digital Customer Management team responsible for ‘Indirect’ (i.e. non-MOD) customers. Defence Digital (DD) recognises that Industry represents a significant proportion – roughly one third – of total users of DD-delivered IS/IT. Taking a risk management approach\, the ICEF identifies opportunities to improve awareness of\, and mitigation for\, availability issues that might impact adversely on Defence outcomes. \nThe TD-Info ICEF lead: \n\nmanages a 6-weekly (approx..) rhythm of meetings for ICEF members\nliaises\, as Industry representative on the MOD 1* Customer Board\nconducts a regular drumbeat with DD ACOS Plans and Customer Services team\nprioritises risks/issues affecting suppliers’ ability to deliver against agreed contracts\nidentifies mitigation activities for MOD consideration.\nMaintains the ICEF risk register\npublishes services-to-industry product descriptions and supporting management processes\n\nIn support of the DCE\, the ICEF lead manages the change process for MOD-originated information services. Specific activities include: \n\nimproving awareness of planned changes to MOD-supplied information flows\, applications\, products and services for the Industry customer\nidentify potential impact on industry and work with MOD ICEF members to identify options for mitigating the consequences of the proposed (or executed) change\nco-ordinate industry inputs and manage the resolution of unplanned/unforeseen events that impact project delivery\nescalate major issues or observations to the DD Customer Board and/or DD ACOS Plans. Conversely risks or issues may also be escalated to the DSF via the DCE\n\nThe purpose of the Information Security Forum (ISF) is to provide better ways of working securely across Team Defence by identifying key issues and agreeing on common approaches to resolution by sharing good practice\, collaborating on accreditation standards\, providing a practical (and compliant) interpretation of Government policy\, and sharing event and near-miss data. \nThe ISF collaboratively develops guidance\, influences policy and communicates key messages to members and\, where appropriate\, broader stakeholders on Information Security and Assurance matters. \nThis meeting will be held In-person at TD-Info Offices and virtually using Microsoft Teams.
