About us

UK Government has committed to substantial investment in the security & defence sector and the development of regional clusters was a key output of the SME action plan highlighted in 'The Defence and Security Industrial Strategy (DSIS), 2019. This strategy set out the government's vision for the defence and security sector in the UK. Supported by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), regional defence and security clusters aim 'to invigorate the Defence Industrial base by facilitating industry, Academia and government sharing ideas, promoting collaboration and identifying routes to market through exploitation and commercialisation'.
