Convened by the D Group at the Glasshouse in Gateshead, our recent half-day conference brought together key national and regional players to work on a plan for accelerated growth in the defence, security and space sectors within the North East. With a rich industrial legacy and growing innovation ecosystem, the region is well-positioned to support national priorities in integrated defence technologies.
Discussions focused on strategic enablers such as investment, regional leadership, innovation clusters and collaboration across sectors.
