The event is for suppliers to hear about our defence challenges, the military end-user perspective, and the ways to work with DASA and Dstl.
The event will present three innovation calls to generate novel and innovative solutions to meet current and future UK Defence needs:
- AI for Defence: The Defence AI Strategy sets out the UK’s vision to adapt and exploit AI at pace and scale for Defence advantage.
- The sub-threshold: This Themed Competition explores the role AI-enabled technology can play in improving the MOD’s ability to conduct intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) of the sub-threshold information environment.
• Analysing and Understanding Audiences (Phase 1): This Themed Competition seeks novel and innovative tools, techniques and methods that have the potential to aid the selection, analysis and understanding of audiences. This includes AI approaches as well as human and social science challenges.
The Food and Drink TechHUB Business Support Service would like to invite you to attend on online webinar on “Supporting your Journey to Net Zero”. The free event will take place via Microsoft Teams on Monday 24th April 2023 at 4pm-5pm. Net Zero Webinar
‘Net Zero’ means the amount of greenhouse gas emissions we put into the atmosphere and the amount we’re able to take out will add up to zero. The Scottish Government have ambitious targets to reach net zero by 2045, with interim targets of 75% by 2030 and 90% by 2040. Our first step in becoming net zero is to reduce our emissions by changing our actions and processes.
This 1hr technical webinar will give you an overview of what support is available from the Scotland Food and Drink Partnership to help food and drink business implement a net zero strategy. The session will also include case studies outlining some of the practical processes and procedures food and drink businesses can implement to move towards net zero. This will include a case study from Windswept Brewing who are implementing sustainable energy and waste management innovations that will improve energy efficiencies, conserve resources and reduce waste and wastewater generation.
