In order to maintain and grow capability in a climate-changed world, change is required. Not only are organisations increasingly obliged to demonstrate sustainable practices and reduce emissions, they must also consider the kind of world we will soon be operating in.
Sustainability solutions are not only about compliance – they are also about resilience.
Capability planning must consider the changing nature of operations and environments; and by proxy the shifting expectations of host nations, personnel, public, interoperability within and between Services, nations and industries, and design for future contested environments.
It's no surprise then, that sustainable solutions have become a critical priority for our customers. They require sustainability-driven mission-led innovation to understand emerging risks and opportunities, and generate new capability. Here at QinetiQ, we can help deliver this, at pace.
Resilience to climate change will demand solutions that are not yet available in the Defence and Security sector. As such, the need to innovate is urgent.
Our customers can meet this challenge by drawing on our extensive experience. From academic institutions, such as Green Futures with Exeter University and the Faraday Institution's NEXTRODE project, to start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Aurea Technologies and Solus Power.
In every case we aid our customers in identifying and applying solutions to bring emerging technologies that solve defence and security challenges. We facilitate connections & cross-sector exploitation to help our customers succeed. Read some examples of how we've acted as an innovation partner for our customers below:
