The Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) is holding a networking event for science and technology providers in London on 18 November 2014. 

Registration for this event is now open. Registration closes on Friday 14 November 2014 at 12:30pm.

It will take place in London at De Vere Canary Wharf, 9:30am to 4:00pm.

Head of Operations at CDE, Jim Pennycook, will introduce CDE and give an overview of proof-of-concept research funding opportunities for innovative science and technology providers.

CDE will launch a themed competition for fully funded contracts (a total of £1 million available) on ‘affordable space-based capability’.

In addition, Military Advisers and technical experts from Dstl (the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) will give an overview of some areas where innovative research ideas are sought for CDE’s ongoing enduring challenge competition.

Bruce Hardie, CDE’s Technology Manager, will talk about how to create an effective proposal for CDE funding.

Guest briefings will be announced shortly.

You’ll be able to pre-book a face-to-face meeting with CDE, Dstl and military experts to discuss your potential proposal to either the enduring challenge competition or one of the themed competitions.

You’ll also have the opportunity to meet other potential bidders, currentDstl suppliers, CDE, Dstl and military experts, and see examples of successful CDE projects.

Presentation slides will be published after the event.
