The National Security technology landscape is fast-evolving and requires unique academic insight to drive cutting-edge innovations. As students of KCL’s prestigious War Studies department, the audience is perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world applications. This event is designed to help them understand how to leverage your expertise in geopolitical strategy, security frameworks, and technology to forge a successful career in this high-stakes sector.
Our fireside chat will explore the theme of Entrepreneurship in National Security: Scaling Startups in Defence and will offer insight into the following:
- Key Career Opportunities in National Security technology and how to carve a path to success.
- Practical Applications of your academic knowledge to real-world defence and security innovations.
- Networking with industry leaders and peers, fostering relationships that could be pivotal for your future.
- Understanding Government Engagement and learning how startups navigate the complex world of defence contracts and regulation.
- Vision for the Future of National Security, with a focus on how cutting-edge technologies like AI and data analytics are reshaping the sector.
We’ll discuss what sets startups apart in a field dominated by large defence contractors, how war studies students can contribute meaningfully to defence innovation, and how startups can establish credibility with the government. Additionally, we’ll cover strategies for scaling operations in a highly regulated environment, with real-world case studies to provide actionable insights.
This event is exclusively for KCL students who are members of the Intelligence and Security Society (ISS) or those with a keen interest in National Security, defence, and technology innovation. With limited capacity, this is a unique chance to gain direct access to industry leaders and learn from those at the forefront of defence innovation.
