Background
Browne Jacobson, shipshape.vc, and Walmer Group, are heading to London for the next instalment in this high-impact series, this time during London Tech Week.
This event follows the success of our first Brave New World event in Cardiff in March this year, where we brought together a dynamic mix of founders, investors, government, and industry at the offices of the Department for Business and Trade to explore the future of security, aerospace, and space.
The conversation was bold, challenging, and optimistic and we’re continuing the momentum in June at a venue TBC.
