From 1-8 October, London Defence Tech Week brings together conferences, networking events, workshops, investor gatherings and partner events across London.
Produced by Resilience Media, the week is designed to strengthen the networks connecting urgent defence and security needs with the founders, investors, industry leaders and military decision-markers building, funding and adopting solutions across Europe, NATO and allied partners.
At the centre of the week is Resilience Conference 2026 on 5-6 October, bringing together leaders from defence, national security, technology and investment. This will be followed by Resilience Conference Day Three on 7 October, a private programme focussed on cognitive warfare and societal resilience.
Around the conference, a growing programme of independently produced events will run across the city, spanning hackathons, investor and founder gatherings, dinners, panels, demonstrations and breakfast sessions.
EDTH Defense Tech Days will feature as a satellite event of London Defence Tech Week, with its programme including the VC & Founders Networking Night, European Defense Tech Hackathon and The New Defense Dinner.
The week will also overlap with Deep Tech London, creating further opportunities for the defence, dual-use and deep-tech communities gather in London that week.
Some events are open to register, others require an application, and some are invitation only. Details and registration links are available through the programme.
