UKTI DSO Self-Help Web Based Business Model
Helping UK SMEs to win Defence & Security Export Contracts

HM Government has made it clear that a greater emphasis on exports and increased support for SMEs are key to the UK’s economic recovery. The Government recognises the vital contribution that SMEs make to our standing and reputation as world leaders in providing defence and security equipment, technology and services. It has pledged to do even more to provide the essential support and assistance that you need. For us in UKTI DSO this means offering a wide range of advice, information and support to all UK SMEs actively involved in the defence/ security export arena – an estimated 8-10,000 companies. We are delivering this via a new open, content-rich and interactive web-based business model, which is closely aligned to the route that you, as an SME, might expect to follow to export market. This website aims to address the immediate and longer term needs of around 95% of UK SMEs who are either considering or actively involved in defence and security export opportunities. For those that have fully explored and utilised the information and options provided by the website, personal advice and support is still available from UKTI DSO’s dedicated team of civilian and military advisers and experts.
