IOM3 - Defence Materials 2050 Webinar

Shaping the Future of Defence Through Resilient Materials and Strategic Collaboration

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the future of defence through the lens of resilient materials, robust supply chains, and collaborative innovation.

Materials are at the heart of defence capability—from advanced armour systems to critical electronic components. However, transitioning innovations from the lab to operational deployment can take decades. This journey is further challenged by global supply chain vulnerabilities and evolving REACH legislation, which requires the replacement of certain substances throughout the lifecycle of defence platforms and components.

This event will convene experts from industry, academia, and government to examine these pressing challenges and identify key themes for a follow-on seminar series. The goal is to develop more resilient, future-proof approaches to defence materials.
