Head of CDE, Andy Nicholson, will introduce CDE and give an overview of proof-of-concept research funding opportunities for innovative science and technology providers.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to pre-book face-to-face meetings with CDE, Dstl and military experts to discuss potential proposals for either the enduring challenge competition or one of the themed competitions:
