In this debut episode, we dive into the journey of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) entering the Defence sector. One of the biggest hurdles many face is winning that elusive first contract. But why is it so challenging?
We explore the barriers to entry, from understanding where to start, to identifying key stakeholders, to aligning your offerings with Defence's unique needs. Along the way, we’ll discuss how SMEs can effectively prepare for market entry, speak the language of Defence, and why building the right relationships is crucial to success.
