Co-creation spaces

The CCSs combine the respective power of specialist public and private sector partners in capability development and end user requirements.

CCSs foster open and collaborative development of high-impact, user-driven technology solutions critical to national security, at a pace and scale that could not otherwise be achieved.

They provide NSTIx with a practical outlet for our core work, allowing us to develop cross-cutting capabilities, test concepts and develop best practice in co-creation.

The co-creation network adapts according to national security priority needs, and currently comprises the following themed spaces:

• protective security
• defence innovation
• cyber
• data science and artificial intelligence (AI)
• operational technology

Each is sponsored and operated by a different government department, and sited at various locations across the UK, near to existing clusters of relevant government, commercial and / or academic technical excellence.

NSTIx provides the branding and enablers under which co-creation can thrive.
