Optimising The Defence Estate Of The Future
Today's increasingly unstable geopolitical landscape demands a flexible and responsive military fleet. The Defence Estate is the core of this military capability. The estate must evolve and modernise, bolstering resilience against today’s increased uncertainty and evolving threats.
In response to the UK's Strategic Defence Review,
Defence Estates & Infrastructure (DE&I) 2025, will bolster extensive collaboration between allied partners and departments, to curate a Defence Estate which provides a sustainable and affordable set of land, buildings and accommodation that supports defence capability, both in terms of military operations and the lived experience of its personnel.
Officially supported by the UK Ministry of Defence, the conference will bring together global government and military leaders, alongside industry professionals, to discuss strategic and operational policy level challenges. During the conference, participants will engage in insightful keynote presentations, thought-provoking panel discussions and engaging networking opportunities.
Join us to gain global insights into balancing affordability, deliverability, efficiency, to support and advance the future of the Defence Estate.
