National Security Technology and Innovation Exchange

About us

NSTIx enables the UK government national security community to collaborate on science, technology and innovation activities and to deliver these in partnership with a more diverse set of contributors for greater shared impact and pace.

The National Security Technology and Innovation Exchange (NSTIx) is an independent unit working within the UK government national security science, technology and innovation (ST&I) system.

Within this government system, NSTIx is an enabler for innovation, collaboration and co-creation to help address common challenges.

• Innovate: NSTIx focuses on cross-cutting national security mission challenges and enables a collective effort to pilot and share novel approaches to solving them through ST&I.
• Collaborate: NSTIx makes it easier for government organisations to work together and with others across the government system.
• Co-Create: NSTIx, through its Co-Creation Network, drives the co-creation of national security ST&I with industry and academia - we do this by developing and sharing best practice to bring together multidisciplinary groups of problem solvers from diverse communities that may not come together on their own

NSTIx achieves this by delivering services that equip government with the insights, connections, system solutions, opportunities and processes they need to achieve mission advantage.
