Turn Defence Growth
into Commercial
Opportunity
Where investment becomes contracts.
The UK Government’s newly announced Defence Investment Plan is unlocking nearly £300 billion of defence investment over the next four years, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the UK defence supply chain.
The UK National Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit brings together the leaders shaping how that investment is deployed, procured and delivered, with one clear objective — ensuring the supply chain is positioned to access, support and deliver that investment at scale.
This Summit is where supply chain organisations engage directly with decision makers, align with programme requirements and secure their role in delivering the UK’s future defence capability. Register now and position your organisation within the UK’s defence supply chain at a pivotal moment of growth. .
