They are free to attend and you do not need to have experience working with Dstl or in defence. \nOver the next 5 years Dstl will be investing over £100m in the best and most promising new science and technologies\, accelerating the development of novel and resilient defence communications\, networks and architectures\, in order to meet the challenges of future military operations. \nDefence is already facing the challenges of increased demand for data and information\, with more sensors collecting more data\, and increased speed of data analysis and decision making as a result of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. At the same time there is an increasing demand for communication resources due to the growth in novel battlefield assets\, such as remote and autonomous systems\, all requiring access to the electromagnetic spectrum for communications\, command and control. \nWe will be investing in potential solutions to these challenges\, from the novel use of the electromagnetic spectrum\, alternative communications mechanisms\, adaptive and autonomous networks\, and novel data routing algorithms\, to improve the availability of secure information to military systems and decision makers at the time and place of need. \nWe are looking to develop a diverse community of suppliers\, including universities and academics\, non-traditional defence suppliers\, as well as the established defence primes\, in order to stimulate innovation and to accelerate potential solutions through to concept demonstration. \nIf you have something to offer and would like to find how to get involved\, then please join us. We would love to take you with us on this exciting journey. \n  \nBOOK YOUR PLACE

SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop - Signposting Supply Chain Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:WE-Zero Virtual Workshop – Signposting supply chain opportunities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are please to announce our first WE-Zero cluster event. \nIntroduction \nThe recent COP26 conference has highlighted to the world the need to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. \nThe South West Aerospace and Advanced Engineering sector which is represented by WEAF is committed to helping to support regional development of infrastructure and technologies which can deliver ZERO emissions across Aerospace and a range of associated sectors. \nBased on the growing interest in the potential for a hydrogen economy. WEAF held a virtual H2 SW summit in 2021. \nWith the launch of the West of England Zero emissions cluster\, “WE-ZERO” WEAF is working to bring together stakeholders involved with the development of the Net Zero emission eco system under regional collaborative cluster. \nRecently Airbus announced it was speeding up its investigations into the possible use of Hydrogen\, as a clean fuel which could slash aviation emissions\, including a complete transition from conventional jet fuel around 2050. Bristol Airport is quickly developing its plans for sustainable aviation \nWEAF follows up H2SW with a virtual 2 day webinar. \nThe event will hear from expert speakers\, providing an insight to the developments of Hydrogen and Electrification and the opportunities that lie within the supply chain. \n\n\n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/we-zero-virtual-workshop-signposting-supply-chain-opportunities-tickets-203084169217Day 1: Hydrogen \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \nDay 2: Electrical \n09:45 – 10:15 Introduction from Colin Turner\, WEAF CEO and keynote speaker (tbc) \n10:15 – 11:00 Speaker Session 1 \n11:00 – 11:45 Speaker Session 2 \n11:45 – 12:30 Speaker Session 3 \n12:30 – 13:00 Speaker Session 4 \n  \n\n\nKindly Supported by the Department for International Trade.

SUMMARY:DIT Webinar: How to Export
DESCRIPTION:DIT Webinar – How SW SME’s can Export Successfully and win Overseas Business\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of its ongoing support for members and the wider advanced engineering sector within the South West\, WEAF is pleased to announce that it will hosting in partnership with the regional DIT export team a “ ‘How to Export Successfully and win Overseas Business “ support webinar. \nThe process of exporting can seem daunting. This webinar will take through details of the new SW Export Academy and highlight the support available to help your company plan for and execute an export activity. \nThe Export Academy is primarily designed for owners and senior managers of SME businesses located in the South West. \n  \nWhy has the Export Academy been developed? \nResearch from the DIT suggests that most business who could export feel that they don’t have a good level of knowledge about how to do so. The Export Academy aims to address this uncertainty about how to sell internationally through education and support\, upskilling businesses so they have the tools and confidence to seek out new opportunities around the world. \n  \nThe webinar will also provide introductions to : \nTailored 1-1 support for South West based Advanced Engineering companies –Barbara Singleton\, DIT SW Advanced Engineering Sector Specialist \nUK Export Finance – Hugh Francis BA MBA | Export Finance Manager The final part of the session will provide information from two SME’s exporting case studies \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
