Subject: Centre for Defence Enterprise
I attended the launch of this centre in Harwell which was opened by the Minister for Defence Equipment and Support. While we, AWM, do not have a focus on defence there are real opportunities here for businesses in the innovation clusters and also for the ITC priority themes. Each month on the 4th Thursday of each month there will be a presentation on a theme e.g. Energy in July.
Proof of concept funding is available and submissions are invited electronically through the website with a 15 day turnaround time.
