Partnerships
At QinetiQ, we believe strong partnerships unlock new possibilities. By combining our world-leading expertise with partners in government, industry, SMEs and academia, we can address challenges with agility and innovation. Bringing together expert knowledge from diverse groups of scientists, technologists, researchers and engineers, we accelerate progress and deliver better outcomes for defence and security.
Strategic partnerships
We work closely with government departments and agencies as well as leading defence primes to deliver integrated solutions that meet national security priorities. These partnerships combine scale with specialist expertise, ensuring capability development and operational readiness for the UK and its allies.
Whether it's delivering test and training through the Long-Term Partnering Agreement (LTPA), providing engineering services through the Engineering Delivery Partnership (EDP) or working with industry to deliver cutting edge capability such as DragonFire, our partnerships are a fundamental part of our business.
Working with SMEs
We actively engage with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to harness niche capabilities, fresh thinking and agility. By managing large networks of SMEs, we help bring innovative solutions to market, support industrial growth and strengthen the defence ecosystem. Our partnerships are built on trust, transparency and shared ambition.
Collaborating with academia
We work closely with universities, research institutions, scientists and engineers to advance science and technology across defence and security. Whether it's through joint research programmes, technology demonstrators or strategic alliances, our collaborations drive innovation, support talent development and help shape future capabilities.
