Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) funds

The Centre for Defence Enterprise (CDE) funds novel, high-risk, high-potential-benefit research to develop capabilities for UK armed forces and national security.

You can submit a CDE proposal for a research contract either at any time to our enduring competition, or in response to the technical challenges in a specific themed competition.

CDE is part of the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) and funds only novel, high-risk, high-potential-benefit research. If your proposal is a product, or outside of CDE’s competition space, you should speak to the Defence Suppliers’ Service, or see other ways of how to sell to Dstl.
