Please register using the registration button on this page.  \nA group of IWG members met at DSEI on Tuesday 10 Sep 2025. This illuminating session was attended by a large number of group members – and others – attending DSEI. Led by our co-chairs\, Air Cdre Rich Yates (MOD\, Dep Director Transformation\, Cyber & Specialist Operations Command (CSOC)) and Chris Parker (Industry\, Director Government\, Fortinet) and joined by Col Howard Tweedie from the Military Strategic Headquarters. \nIn his keynote\, Maj Gen Zac Stenning (Director Strategy CSOC) gave a thorough overview of the new strategy which led to a lively engagement with the audience through a candid Q&A. \nIWG deductions from the session: \n\nThere is a need for clear\, agreed digital taxonomy to help cohere change. (TDI IWG to lead this output).\nAwareness to be enhanced for all existing and imminent novel technology to enable rapid capability uplift. (TDI IWG started this in 2025 with the capability sets initiative and will help drive this forward).\nAccess improved – especially for Micro+SMEs. A new portal is to be announced soon to help this. (MOD very aware of this need from member feedback).\nAccountability needs to be clearer – shared responsibility for capability uplift/evolution and efficiency measures to build long term trust. (TDI IWG to support this work).\n\n  \nA survey of IWG members will follow soon to develop the actions needed to maintain pace and actively support the transformation underway in UK Defence. \n  \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/integration-working-group-online-session/ LOCATION:Virtual – MS Teams CATEGORIES:MDI WG-Public END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20251023T150000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20251023T160000 DTSTAMP:20260407T220145 CREATED:20251007T141809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251008T090445Z UID:249210-1761231600-1761235200@www.teamdefence.info SUMMARY:Critical Raw Materials for Defence: Online Snack Series - Session 4 DESCRIPTION:The recent Critical Raw Materials for Defence Report we published\, outlines a proposed framework for enhancing Critical Raw Materials resilience in the UK Defence sector through circular economy principles and recycling. 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.
