The Partnership

Industry Partners

Niteworks’ Industry Partners are UK companies with significant presence in the NEC and C4ISTAR domains, who are able to provide substantial background Intellectual Property to support Niteworks Projects and activities. Every Partner is able to fully exploit all Niteworks outputs.

All Niteworks’ Industry Partners are represented on the Niteworks Partnership Board, a non-executive board comprising senior executives from the individual organisations. The Partnership Board meets quarterly, and provides support and guidance to the strategic direction of Niteworks. Key MOD/Dstl stakeholders are also represented on the Partnership Board.

Industry Capabilities in Niteworks

Industry Partners participate in Niteworks through providing key skills and expertise in the areas of Management, Engineering, Architecture, Modelling, Facilities, Experimental Design and Project Management.

Benefits to Industry

The Industry Partners have derived substantial benefit from their involvement in the Niteworks partnership, including improved understanding of the defence environment and MOD’s capability needs, the ability to make better investment decisions in relation to experimentation and NEC issues, improved commercial positioning and decision-making through understanding of MOD programmes, and improved relationships with the MOD customer. They also derive significant benefits from the development of skills and experience for staff seconded to Niteworks.
