Security and public safety: partnering and speed networking event

About this event

Find your perfect business partner at this National Security and Justice and Emergency Services partnering and networking event.

As part of the Security and public safety SME Forum's drive to build stronger partnerships between SMEs and the wider tech community, techUK is hosting a speed-dating-style networking event. Conversations will centre on innovative solutions that can support Home Office priorities and address the complex challenges facing law enforcement and security agencies.

Session overview

This event will bring together SMEs and large primes working across these sectors to connect, share innovations, and explore solutions that strengthen national resilience and support safer communities.

The session will follow a speed-dating-style networking format, facilitated by techUK. Attendees will rotate around tables with 4–5 minutes to connect, followed by open networking over pizza and drinks in the members' area.

Large primes will be able to meet the newest innovators in the field and explore solutions to their most pressing security challenges, while SMEs will have the chance to showcase their capabilities and highlight the value they can bring.
