Emerging technology took centre stage at DSEI 2023
Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) returned to ExCeL in London in September 2023. The event brought an extensive display of cutting-edge technology with a large proportion of the new exhibitors coming from the future technology sphere. This echoes the wider effort in defence towards emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning, quantum computing and Big Data & Advanced Analytics (BDAA).
Notably the Future Tech Hub is the event’s largest growing area playing host to a wide array of technology companies. In 2023, the Future Tech Hub was home to the UK Strategic Command, UK MOD Science & Innovation, and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S).
For the first time, Verizon - a telecommunications company - participated in the event, highlighting the role of 5G mobile edge computing in improving the performance and security of defence agencies. In addition, notable SMEs were in attendance, showcasing technology and software that can be utilised in the defence sector.
Ahead of DSEI, Grant Burgham, DSEI Director, commented: “With increased emphasis on the capabilities of disruptive innovation such as AI, Quantum computing as well as 5G/6G, it is good to see so many non-traditional defence companies exhibiting at DSEI this year. As ever, we’re looking forward to hosting the best hybrid event for our visitors and exhibitors, giving them a platform where they can demonstrate the enormous potential of the future tech solutions they have developed”.
