In partnership with Karve and IoT Tribe, this practical event will explore how innovative dual-use technologies move from concept to contract across defence, security, infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Focusing on how SMEs, start-ups, and non-traditional suppliers can overcome procurement barriers, secure end-user support, and achieve adoption at scale.
Through real-world case studies and lessons learned, the event examines what works in practice, from building credibility and meeting compliance requirements to aligning with customer needs and creating long-term partnerships.
The discussion places founders, investors, and decision-makers at the centre, showing how procurement can become an enabler of growth rather than a barrier.
