Who is the Event Host?
Mike Madden, the DASA Innovation Partner for the South West of England, is a member of the SW RDSC Board. His DASA role is to seek out innovative ideas and novel research and development in his region which could be of benefit to Government Defence and Security stakeholders. In addition, he offers advice to innovators on how their innovations could connect with Defence and Security challenges. Mike has a wealth of experience in DASA processes as well as in mentoring and advising businesses on how to nurture and accelerate innovative ideas. Mike has worked at the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) since 2009, joining DASA earlier this year.

Who should attend and why?
DASA seeks ideas from across academia and industry, including SMEs, micros, established businesses, spin-outs and third sector organisations. Applicants are frequently new to DASA and may not have supplied the Defence or Security sectors previously. We are interested in meeting and connecting with any and all businesses, both big and small, and those from academia in the South West of England. If you are curious or think your idea could be adapted to benefit UK Defence & Security, then come along and get some insights into how to work with DASA successfully..
