During ITEC 2025, attendees uncovered dual-use cutting-edge training technology in action at the DualTech Theatre. Demonstrated by pioneers, these sessions showcased how dual-use technologies will advance military training to achieve operational superiority.

Three action-packed days broadened the horizons of what is achievable within the training technology space, learning lessons from non-traditionally defence companies, and exploring innovative solutions to challenges faced in the sector. 

Day 1: Wargaming Showcase

Day 2: Medical Simulation and The Challenge live final

Day 3: DualTech Demos
