The London RDSC forms a collaboration between industry, academia and the public sector, with the support of government and its ministerial departments such as the MOD and its innovation directorate, and the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA).
The cluster seeks to aggregate and raise the profile of regional Defence and Security (D&S) capability to stimulate greater sector knowledge, business, economic growth and productivity across the greater London region. It will attract businesses of all scales with an interest in D&S to deliver new sector and cross-sector capability. It aims to apply a ‘Team UK’ approach to enable more joined up working between industry, academia and government, providing an efficient and accessible route to industry curation and the region’s D&S value chain.
Encouraging collaborative working and partnerships to broaden outreach and increase efficiency while fostering and incubating novel ideas and innovation
Inclusivity of membership and opportunity to thrive for all, including the promotion of diversity, equity and inclusion.
Providing a sector voice and representation, helping to shape the future of D&S and investing in our workforce through education, training and skills development
