<p>The Defence Growth Partnership (DGP) is an industry led group, established jointly
by industry and government to deliver export-led growth within the Defence sector.
It does not receive any public funding. Since 2014, it has enabled joint industry
and government resource equivalent to £50 million over three years to achieve its
agenda: £30 million for strengthening the UK Defence & Security Organisation and
establishing the UK Defence Solutions Centre (UKDSC). The remaining £20 million is
currently delivered through a number of initiatives supporting the DGP’s growth agenda:
establishment of the Centre of Maritime Intelligent Systems (CMIS); Dual Use Technology
Exploitation (DUTE) cluster and the MOD Innovation Challenge fund.</p><p>Government
and industry have committed through a mix of cash and resource equivalent to £3.8m
in 2015-16 to the UKDSC and a similar figure is predicted for 2016-17. As of 1 April
2016, there were 4 staff directly employed by the UKDSC and 28 secondees from across
the 16 DGP Partner Companies.</p>
