What Happened
Building National Economic Opportunity Through Defence
Wales is looking to establish itself as a centre of excellence in defence, security, and resilience, with a focus on building a national economic opportunity. The country already has many of the necessary ingredients, including major primes, skilled SMEs, and strong universities. According to Phil Jones, CEO of Business in Focus, Wales can become a significant player in this field by bringing together its strengths with greater confidence and purpose. The Defence Security Resilience Cymru event, taking place in September, aims to provide strategic context, practical advice, and direct engagement with buyers, primes, government, investors, academia, and international partners.
