## Summary

The Ministry of Defence is planning the NAVYX PATRICK BLACKETT INDUSTRY DAY in April 2023. This engagement event aims to facilitate collaboration with universities and industry for military research and technology. The event will take place in Portsmouth, South East England, and is targeted at SMEs and non-traditional defence suppliers. The deadline for engagement is on April 17, 2023.

This tender offers an opportunity for businesses interested in military research and technology to participate in collaborative projects with the Royal Navy. SMEs and non-traditional defence suppliers are particularly well-suited to engage with NavyX at the upcoming industry day. The event will provide insights into technologies that offer a competitive advantage and allow providers to access Defence opportunities through various frameworks.

## Notice

The Royal Navy continues to explore collaborative opportunities with universities and industry, to gain insights into possible technologies that could provide a competitive advantage over our adversaries. The introduction of NavyX's new trials ship, XV PATRICK BLACKETT (XV = eXperimental Vessel), and the opening of BattleLab, Defence's new co-creation environment in Dorset, presents new opportunities to do just this. This engagement event is about sharing some of the frameworks and the types of commercial tools which the team will be using over the coming months. It is through these tools that NavyX will share problems, challenges, and opportunities. This event is an opportunity to understand where and how to register as a provider for the various frameworks, and understand how to access Defence opportunities - This event is therefore aimed at SME's and non-traditional defence suppliers. The event will be held in Portsmouth, please see the attachment for more details on the event and how to register.
