DIJC) is an initiative by the UK government to enhance collaboration

The Defence Industrial Joint Council (DIJC) is an initiative by the UK government to enhance collaboration between the government, industry, trade unions, and investors in the defense sector.

The aim is to leverage defense as a catalyst for economic growth and job creation across the country. The council, co-chaired by the Defence Secretary and the CEO of BAE Systems, will focus on key areas such as innovation, supply chain resilience, and export promotion. This collaborative approach is expected to encourage investment in cutting-edge technologies, support smaller businesses, and foster a competitive and sustainable defense industrial base in the UK. The DIJC's first meeting signifies a significant step in the strategic reorientation of the UK's defense industry towards greater integration and synergy with the nation's broader economic objectives.
