The Joint Security and Resilience Centre (JSaRC) are thrilled to invite you to participate in an exciting opportunity at their upcoming promotional showcase event in the atrium of the Home Office’s central building in Westminster next month.
This event aims to showcase new and exciting technologies within the security and defence sector to Home Office and Government colleagues, to in turn increase awareness of Security & Policing, the UKs largest security event hosted in Farnborough Exhibition Centre, in collaboration with ADS.
Last year’s showcase event was a true highlight, featuring a hand-picked selection of cutting-edge innovations tailored to revolutionize security across the UK. From drones to wearable tech and even SPOT the robot dog, attendees were captivated by live demonstrations of advanced security solutions designed to address the challenges of tomorrow.
This year, JSaRC are reaching out to innovative companies like yours to join them in showcasing your pioneering equipment within a prime government building. By participating, you’ll have the chance to engage directly with Home Office employees and elevate awareness of your company and products, while also supporting the upcoming Security & Policing event.
What’s more, selected participants will benefit from complimentary promotion across JSaRC’s social media channels, including features on their website, LinkedIn, and a spotlight in their monthly newsletter, which reaches a broad audience of SMEs and key stakeholders within and around government.
If you are interested, they would love to hear from you! Please express your interest by emailing jsarc@homeoffice.gov.uk by close of play on 25 October.
Please include a brief description of the technology you’d like to showcase, along with any available images, and an overview of your company’s work. Their events team will review all submissions, and you’ll be notified by 1 November if your company has been selected to take part.
This is your chance to be part of a high-profile event, network with influential figures in government and position your company at the forefront of innovation in the field
ADS is a Partner Organisation of the UK-Ukraine Defence Tech Forum which is taking place on 8 November at RUSI in London.
Ukrainian and UK defence tech companies are developing their technologies and their effectiveness is being proven on the frontline. What is required now is to channel investment to enable rapid scaling-up and the advancement of these technologies in order to speed up their deployment. The Forum has been convened to bring together all key stakeholders – government, technology companies and VCs – for a timely discussion on how to achieve this.
The event follows on from the Ukrainian Drone Defence Forum in May at RUSI which encouraged collaboration between Ukrainian and British drone manufacturers and technology firms to scale up drone and electronic warfare production and in which ADS Group members played a prominent role.
ADS members receive a 30% discount on the registration fee. When registering on the Forum website simply enter the code ADS30. For any questions contact the organisers at: stephen.butler@strategy-council.com
