The UK Government has announced an important initiative that will significantly impact the way small businesses engage with the defence sector. By committing to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027, with a focus on supporting SMEs, the government is creating new opportunities for these businesses. This move will help SMEs contribute their unique strengths to secure the nation and drive economic growth.
So, how will this work? The government is launching a new SME support hub, designed to guide small businesses through the complex world of defence procurement. This hub will provide the necessary resources and guidance for SMEs to navigate the supply chain, allowing them to leverage their expertise and innovation.
The reason behind this initiative is clear: SMEs bring valuable qualities to the table such as agility, innovation, and local knowledge. These assets are important in the defence sector, where adaptability and creativity are beneficial. By supporting SMEs, the government aims to tap into these strengths, fostering a more diverse and resilient defence industry.
What this means for SMEs:
If you run an SME, now is a good time to explore how this opportunity aligns with your business goals. The support is there, and it’s a chance to diversify and grow.
What do you think of this move to help SMEs access the defence supply chain?
