DisTec | Disruptive Technology

With the rapid speed at which technology is developing, military and civil protection training communities are striving to provide a more realistic and effective training environment.
 
An increasing number of game-changing solutions are coming from start-up companies and cross-sector technology transfer, providing fresh competition to the well-established primes in training and simulation. With smaller budgets to showcase their solutions, new market entrants rely on the cutting-edge tech to speak for itself.

Thanks to the further development of simulated or synthetic training capabilities, the last decade has brought about significant changes in the way personnel are trained. Barriers to the effectiveness, use and integration of these technologies still exist and while the military training establishment have been restricted to a degree in their speed to leverage available technologies, the landscape is now changing. 

With a mixture of curated content and commercial presentation slots, DisTec provides an ideal platform for innovators to show practical and relevant applications for their technology. We are excited to announce a number of headline participants taking part in the inaugural DisTec, including our keynote speaker from the UK MOD Defence Innovation. Organisations already confirmed to participate are:

• DASA
• NATO Modelling and Simulation Centre of Excellence
• Area9 Lyceum
• University College London
• Thinke Company
• QinetiQ
• Gamification Nation
