Defence inWest Challenge Rooms and Hackatons create a direct link between defined needs and companies that can contribute technology, products, expertise or production capacity.
Requirment owners present concrete industrial or operational challenges. Relevant companies, students and experts apply with their capabilities, then work together with the challenge owner to explore solutions that can progress after Defence inWest.
How the process works
The need A requirment owner defines a concrete industrial or operational challenge.
The capability Companies and experts apply with relevant technology, expertise or production capacity.
The match Companys and organisations are selected and matched to the challenge where they can contribute most.
The Challenge Room The selected team works directly with the owner for the specific challenge before, during & hopefully even after Defence inWest.
The solution The team presents its findings and identifies the most relevant routes forward.
The next step Promising solutions can progress to further dialogue, testing, demonstration or development.
