Industry event: International Security Expo

What NSTIx achieved

This 2-day annual event enabled NSTIx to:

both strengthen and forge new links with key partners in government, industry and academia

further its aim to drive coherence and efficiencies across the national security science, technology and innovation (ST) ecosystem

share its unique but complementary function within the government ST landscape

Keynote speech

Security Minister, Damien Hinds, gave a keynote speech and noted NSTIx’s presence at the Expo for the first time. The stand demonstrated the UK’s ambition to be a ‘science and technology superpower’, including in new and emerging technologies.

How NSTIx contributes to the delivery of the UK’s ambition to be a science and technology superpower

NSTIx promotes engagement and co-creation with academia and industry ST suppliers and end users, primarily through our Co-creation Network of themed Co-creation Spaces (CCS)

the CCSs combine the respective power of specialist public and private sector partners in research, capability development and end user requirements – this supports the development of effective, user-driven technology at pace in areas that are critical to national security

NSTIx also makes it easier for partners to deliver enhanced national security research and capabilities by joining up requirements, breaking down the common barriers to innovation and enabling best practice in co-creation
