Find your perfect tech business partner at this Justice and Emergency Services/public safety 'speed dating' style event.  The event is an opportunity for SMEs to speak to companies currently providing services to police and justice markets, and for large companies to expand the network of SMEs they work with to deliver services in this market. 

As part of the JES programme's plan to enhance interoperability in policing, and following the successful publication of “Demystifying digital interoperability in policing”, the techUK team will organize a speed-dating-style 'partnering and networking' event. The purpose of the event is to explore potential relationships between larger JES suppliers and small/medium size suppliers (SMEs) who are providing, or wish to provide, their solutions to Police & Justice customers. 

The session will be hosted at techUK’s 10 St Bride Street office from 2.00pm to 5.30pm on 7/11/2022.  All techUK JES companies – large and small – are invited on a “first come, first served” basis given limited space.

Speaker

Teresa Ashford, Interim Head of Data at the Home Office, will also be joining us for the session.
