Sectors
Defence
We help technology companies reach the Ministry of Defence, the front-line commands and the primes, and turn trials into contracts.
The market
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) buys through several routes. The National Armaments Director (NAD) Group runs major equipment programmes, the front-line commands buy for their own needs, and UK Defence Innovation funds experimentation and early adoption.
UK Defence Innovation launched in July 2025. It brought together the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), the Defence Innovation Unit and other teams, with a ring-fenced budget of at least £400 million a year.
New technology usually has to fit into programmes that primes and integrators already hold. Knowing who owns the requirement, the budget and the integration is as important as the product.
