Infrastructure & Estates Knowledge Transfer Zone
Sponsored by
The Infrastructure and Estates Zone at DPRTE 2025 is a dedicated area designed to highlight the significant opportunities available for defence suppliers within the infrastructure and estates sector. This zone focuses on the pivotal role played by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) in managing and developing the vast estate that supports the UK’s defence capabilities.
With an annual spend of approximately £3 billion on construction and infrastructure services on behalf of its customers, DIO represents a significant opportunity for both current and potential suppliers.
The zone provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from DIO representatives and other key decision-makers in the defence infrastructure sector.
Attend sessions led by industry experts and DIO officials, offering insights into upcoming projects, sustainability initiatives, and innovative approaches to infrastructure management.
This is your chance to understand the current and future needs of the defence estate and how your organisation can contribute.
