A clean slate for Defence technology Lee Hannaford Director of Redwing Technology, has shared insightful reflections on the opportunities arising from the recent changes in government. As an SME advising companies and governments on technological solutions, especially in the defence and national security sectors, Lee identifies a significant advantage in this transitional period. 👉 “The biggest opportunity is a clean slate, regardless of political persuasions, an opportunity to revisit programmes that are already in flow such as the foreign policy area, EU relations, Commonwealth, and others.” Lee emphasises the potential benefits of closer EU defence collaboration for U.K. businesses and security. This approach could help overcome existing programme delays and foster vital technological collaboration in a rapidly changing and often unpredictable global landscape. As the landscape evolves, it is essential for leaders to seize these opportunities for innovation and strategic partnerships to ensure a more secure future. ✨🚀 #Defence #NationalSecurity #Technology #Collaboration #Innovation #Leadership #RedwingTechnology #LabourBusiness #Labourdigital #MinistryofDefence #MOD #DepartmentofBusinessandTrade #DBT #EUsecurity #UKdefencesector #Collaboration #Opportunities

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the growing prevalence of under-the-threshold techniques have demonstrated that it's no longer enough to consider defence as solely a job for the war fighters, we have to think in terms of National Resilience. Next week, Thu 26th -Fri 27th September, the Resilience Conference will bring together a stellar lineup of investors, founders, military experts, academic and industry leaders to explore what that means, how we manage the risks and capitalise on the opportunities. Delivered by the team behind TechCrunch, it promises to be a spectacular couple of days that will challenge the status quo, deliver fresh insights and propel the defence conference scene into the 21st century. There are a few tickets left so if you'd like to get in the room with buyers, investors, decision makers, thinkers and the most influential people in this space to get ahead of the conversation, sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eiC4g3wj https://lnkd.in/eTwcGWPH Rowden BAE Systems BMNT Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc.

The 2024 Defense budget reflects a significant shift towards innovation, with a whopping $34 billion (4%) invested in early-stage research. This investment is fueling a new era of "hard tech" innovation, particularly for defense applications, and creating opportunities for startups to scale rapidly, paving a path to changing the way the defense industrial complex does business, as exemplified by Anduril Industries and Shield AI. Advancements in AI/ML and robotics are at the forefront of this change, alongside a growing ecosystem of government programs (SBIRs, STTRs, NavalX, AFWERX) that empower small businesses like mine to partner with the military. These programs are not only providing funding but also streamlining the often-complex process of navigating government contracts, helping to bridge the technological "valley of death." (hopefully) I'm excited about the potential of these programs to foster innovation and collaboration, shaping the future of defense and technology. It's been quite the journey so far!

🇺🇸 U.S. Elections and the Future of #DefenseTech In these turbulent times, the best way to prepare for the future may be accelerating dual-use DefenseTech technologies—solutions that meet defense needs while offering huge civilian market potential. 🌍 The Big Picture: Defense budgets are on a growth trajectory worldwide, with nations recognizing the need to invest in advanced tech for security. 💥 Why It Matters: Defense requirements push entrepreneurs to the limit—where Sci-Fi meets reality. These innovations aren’t just for the battlefield; many of them will serve civilian markets, addressing massive demands in sectors like transportation, healthcare, energy, and beyond. 🚀 So What: DefenseTech is becoming one of the most attractive fields for talent, innovation, and investment. With government budgets increasing, this field is poised to lead the next wave of technological breakthroughs that will transform both defense and civilian applications. 🔍 Dive Deeper: Check out the latest insights by Anne Sraders in Sifted, covering the potential budget shifts and their implications for #DefenseTech.

**Could Trump’s Second Presidency Ignite a New Era for European Defense Tech Startups?** As the world gears up for possible changes in leadership, one question looms large over the European defense landscape: How might Donald Trump’s potential second term reshape the ecosystem for tech startups specializing in defense? The ramifications of his policies and priorities could significantly influence not just American firms but their counterparts across Europe as well. Trump's previous administration was marked by an inclination towards nationalism, with policies that often favored U.S. entities over international partnerships. Could we see a repeat of this approach, impacting collaboration between Europe and America on critical technologies? If so, how prepared are European startups to navigate these choppy waters, balancing innovation with changing diplomatic currents? Today’s landscape is incredibly dynamic; many European defense tech startups are on the cusp of transformative developments – whether it’s advancements in cybersecurity solutions or cutting-edge drone technology. However, they might face fresh challenges if funding from American investors becomes constrained or if collaborative efforts falter due to shifting political alliances. In addition to changing investment patterns, Trump's focus may reemphasize military spending at home versus abroad. What does that mean for transatlantic partnerships? Will we see a surge in grants and initiatives aimed specifically at igniting technological solutions from within U.S. borders rather than looking overseas? The tech community should also keep an eye on how regulatory dynamics shift—potentially making it easier or harder for European firms to engage competitively within global marketplaces amidst tightening regulations favoring domestic industries. Amid all these considerations lies an essential opportunity: forging resilient networks among Europe-based startups. They can act as innovators driving cyber robustness and advanced systems critical for national security—not just defending their territories but positioned as key players globally. If you’re part of this vibrant tech scene or curious about what it takes to thrive amid looming changes in leadership dynamics, let’s connect! 🚀 Together we can drive corporate innovation forward even through uncertainty.
