Organised March 25 - 26 at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, DPRTE is the UK’s premier event for defence procurement and supply chain engagement.

DPRTE 2026 offers an opportunity to discuss delivery at pace and the partnerships needed to achieve it. Visit Thales at Stand 103 to hear about Partnering with Purpose, our approach to working with selected SMEs and scale-ups to help deliver capability at pace against evolving customer needs.

Partnering with Purpose brings together two elements:

  • Strategic SME Partnering Programme – Longer-term partnering with a selected group of priority SMEs aligned to delivery priorities.
  • Innovation Ecosystem through Trust My Tech – Challenge-led engagement designed to connect defined needs with promising technologies, working with SMEs, scale-ups, academia and partners.

On Day 1, Amyas Philipps will present “Meeting Defence and Government’s Secure by Design needs within the supply chain” in the Innovation and Future Defence Technologies zone.
 

If you're attending DPRTE this year, be sure to visit Thales at Stand 103.
