Ploughshare — MOD/Dstl technology transfer
Ploughshare Innovations (wholly owned by UK Secretary of State for Defence)
About this opportunity
The UK's defence tech-transfer company; commercialises early-stage Dstl research and MOD IP through licences and spin-outs. A route to dual-use IP rather than a funding line.
Ploughshare Innovations is the technology-transfer company wholly owned by the UK Secretary of State for Defence, tasked with commercialising early-stage Dstl research and other MOD intellectual property. It moves that IP to market through licences and spin-out ventures rather than grant calls. A Ukrainian firm engages as a licensee or spin-out partner, building products on MOD-originated materials, sensing or cyber IP instead of applying for funding.
Eligibility
Access is via commercial IP licences or spin-out partnerships, not open grants; suitable for firms that want to build on MOD/Dstl IP.
