Major defense programs are actively seeking new suppliers, and small and medium-sized enterprises are ideally positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.
This second Chambers Wales SESWM defense-focused event analyzes where the real opportunities lie and how SMEs can position themselves to access them.
Organized by Browne Jacobson, a member of Chambers Wales, and held in collaboration with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the UK, the event offers a genuine opportunity for manufacturers, engineers, and technology companies to network, gain practical knowledge, and explore real business opportunities within the global defense supply chain.
Attendees will have the opportunity to establish personal connections with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and understand how Welsh companies can access global defense supply chains.
Defense is at the heart of the UK's industrial strategy and one of the Government's eight priority sectors.
It is supported by:
• An increase in funding of £2200 billion.
• A £400 million Defence Innovation Fund.
• The creation of a Defense Growth Board.
• The commitment to increase defense spending to 2,5% of GDP by 2027.
