Officially supported by the UK Ministry of Defence, the inaugural Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit 2025 is the premier event dedicated to the UK government’s commitment to increasing defence spending to 2.5% of GDP starting April 2027. This summit will spotlight the additional £2.2 billion allocated to the Ministry of Defence next year, as part of the broader plan to achieve the 2.5% GDP target.

Join us to explore the government’s significant support for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the defence sector and discover how these initiatives will shape the future of defence procurement and supply chains.
