DASA joins Aerospace Xelerated & applications extended to 8th October
On behalf of the Ministry of Defence, the Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA) is joining Aerospace Xelerated for our next cohort, which will support startups using AI and Autonomous technologies to solve challenges faced in the aerospace industry.
DASA finds and funds innovation to support UK national security quickly and effectively, and support UK prosperity. On behalf of the MOD, DASA will support startups by providing insights from, and access to, front line commands, aligning them with the MOD’s interest in national security and innovation priorities.
Speaking on our collaboration, Anita Friend, Head of DASA, said,
“The MOD is keen to understand how early engagement between startups and MOD in programmes such as this can lead to improved outcomes for Defence and for the companies involved. By partnering in Aerospace Xelerated and helping the companies understand the needs and opportunities provided by Defence, we hope to accelerate our own learning as well as theirs.”
As a result of our new programme partnership, we’re extending applications for the January - March 2022 Aerospace Xelerated cohort to 12pm BST on the 8th of October.
