NSTIx has established a government-led network of themed Co-Creation Spaces (CCS). The CCS’ combine the respective power of specialist public and private sector partners in research, capability development and end user requirements. This supports the development of effective, user-driven technology at pace in areas that are critical to national security.

For more information, please see the ‘NSTIx Leaflet’ in digital form. OpTech Co-Creation (OCCS) has engaged with a network of key Community Collaborators, techUK being one of them, to accelerate and leverage access to their existing networks of industry and academic Solution Providers.
