James Williams representing Telicent in the panel session yesterday
Academia, government and industry came together at Plexal for the launch of the London Regional Defence and Security Cluster. In the words of Anita Friend, head of Defence and Security Accelerator, these are regionally led, nationally supported ecosystems focussing on collaboration for sovereign capability advantage. Through a range of speakers and panel discussion the programme explored; 📈Market engagement and building understanding. 🚨The need for clear demand signal to focus tech innovation. 🎓 The opportunity of academic research. ❓ Moving from specifications to problem centric narrative. Between panels, themed networking groups built connections and developed these themes. Congratulations to Professor Rodney Day, Mark Darvill, Bruce Hardie and the team for this springboard for the cluster. #MaritimeEnterpriseEngagement
