Meridian's
Inaugural Cohort
Ten companies developing technologies for the future of defence and national security.
Selected through a highly competitive process, Meridian's inaugural cohort brings together ten companies developing capabilities across autonomous systems, AI, resilient communications, intelligence, information warfare, maritime security and critical infrastructure protection.
Each was selected for the relevance of its technology to real and emerging operational requirements, and the opportunity for Meridian to help accelerate its path towards defence customers and deployment.
Programme delivery is now underway, with Defence Holdings and Meridian's strategic partners working alongside each company to develop the technical, customer and commercial pathways that can move their capabilities forward.
