On Wednesday 8th October 2014, representatives from MBDA’s Procurement team, headquartered in Stevenage, UK attended the Defence and Procurement Research and Technology Exportability event at the Motorpoint Arena Cardiff, to engage with Defence Industry Suppliers and Small and Medium Enterprises looking to build a footprint in the industry.

DPRTE provided the defence purchaser with the prospect of interacting and engaging with existing and ambitious new suppliers in the marketplace. The event represented a unique forum by which to increase collaboration on innovation and development for suppliers and prime contractors.

As a prime contractor, MBDA’s Procurement organization is always looking for innovative companies, and regularly attends organised events as a way to interact and engage with current and prospective suppliers.
