Industry Innovation Partner Network launched to strengthen collaboration across policing

news

To support our ambition of developing gold standard industry partnerships, we have established the Industry Innovation Partner Network.

The network will help strengthen collaboration between policing and industry by creating new opportunities for engagement, knowledge sharing and innovation. Industry partners can sign up to join the network and will automatically be added to our Industry Forum mailing list, providing access to regular engagement opportunities throughout the year.

At the heart of the network is the Industry Forum, a structured mechanism for building stronger relationships between policing and industry. Driven through the Office of the Police Chief Scientific Adviser (OPCSA), but widely policing led, the forum brings together partners from across policing, government, academia and industry.

The forum provides a space to share priorities, explore emerging challenges, identify opportunities for collaboration and support a more coordinated approach to innovation across the policing landscape.

We welcome organisations of all sizes, from large multinational technology providers to start ups, scale ups and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Each brings valuable expertise, skills, investment, research capability and innovative approaches that, through collaboration and co creation, can help address some of policing's most pressing challenges.

By joining the Industry Innovation Partner Network, organisations become part of a growing community committed to shaping the future of science, technology and innovation in policing.

How to join

Industry partners can register to join the network and receive information about forthcoming Industry Forum events and engagement opportunities.
