Exploring Opportunities in... Defence

​A small group of successful entrepreneurs and investors are gathering for an off-the-record evening exploring one of the most complex and fast-changing sectors: Defence.

​Our expert panel will examine the opportunities and challenges shaping defence innovation — from dual-use technologies and cyber security to advanced hardware and global supply chains. We’ll discuss where investment is flowing, what barriers exist, and how entrepreneurs and investors can engage responsibly in this critical sector. The evening will be highly interactive, with questions, challenges, and contributions encouraged from the room.

​Expect:

​

• ​No sales pitches. No unnecessary slide decks.

• ​Lively discussion, facilitated by TIGER 21 Chair, Mike McClelland.

• ​A room full of curious, successful peers.

​Expert Panel:

​

• ​A defence technology entrepreneur.

• ​A venture investor with exposure to dual-use innovations.

• ​A sector analyst or policy voice providing context on regulation and geopolitics.

​This event is by invitation only.
