Supporting innovative procurement, exportability and driving security through technology

Defence Procurement Research, Technology & Exportability (DPRTE) 2013 presents the most significant opportunity for policy makers, technology users and technology producers to fully explore the changing dynamics of the defence sector and emerging technology markets and identify new business growth opportunities within the UK and overseas defence and security markets.

DPRTE 2013 will recognise the vital role that new technologies will play in ensuring that we continue to build defence and security capacity, in addition to detailing progress in key defence transformation projects including the Defence Materiel Strategy and the MOD Ten Year Equipment Plan, which sets out the MOD’s forecast expenditure plans to deliver and support equipment to the Armed Forces, in order to meet the objectives set out in the National Security Strategy.

Supported by many government organisations and trade associations, DPRTE 2013 will provide a unique opportunity and platform for the defence procurement marketplace to interact within areas such as innovation, technology, exporting, business growth, procurement skills, and buyer and supplier engagement.
