CDE Innovation Network event: 10 February 2016, London
The Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) held a networking event for science and technology providers in London on 10 February 2016.
The event was kindly hosted by SynbiCITE.
Jim Pennycook, Head of Operations at CDE, introduced CDE and gave an overview of proof-of-concept research funding opportunities for innovative science and technology providers.
Technical experts from Dstl (the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) provided specific information about the themed competition: synthetic biology for novel materials. This competition has up to £750,000 available for fully funded phase-1 projects.
Attendees were able to book a face-to-face meeting with CDE and Dstl subject matter experts to discuss potential proposals to the ‘synthetic biology for novel materials’ themed competition.
There were networking opportunities with other potential bidders, current Dstl suppliers, CDE, Dstl and military experts.
