Yorkshire defence and security business survey

You are invited to take part in a short business survey to inform a Yorkshire wide mapping exercise of defence and security related capabilities.

The survey is being undertaken on behalf of the four Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authorities to build an evidence base on businesses active in, or with potential to enter, defence, security, aerospace, cyber and dual use supply chains. Your responses will help identify regional strengths, gaps, skills needs and opportunities for collaboration, and will inform consideration of whether to establish a Yorkshire Defence and Security Cluster.

The survey should take around 5 minutes to complete. All responses will be treated as confidential and reported only in aggregated form. Individual organisations will not be identified without prior consent.
