BAE Systems Launchpad is designed to transform breakthrough ideas into real-world impact at speed, where these don't fit into our current strategic product portfolio. By harnessing the ingenuity and skill of our people, the power of our technology and the agility of the start-up ecosystem, we're rapidly developing technology that has strong commercial value outside of defence.

We accelerate early stage, potentially transformative defence research currently in early development and spin out our own advanced technology for use outside defence working closely with the venture capital ecosystem and academic institutions This aligns with a key priority outlined in the UK's Defence Industrial Strategy, which calls for "constant innovation at wartime pace" and highlights the need for more successful spinouts from UK-developed technologies. The programme is designed to leverage BAE Systems' position as a technology pioneer to support national priorities, including rapid technology incubation, sovereign capability and economic growth. It also provides start-ups with access to customers across a broader range of sectors, like energy and advanced manufacturing. Find out more at; Why BAE Systems?
