The MOD Digital Identity for Defence Programme is keen to continue and deepen its engagement with Industry as we start to gather momentum in developing and broadening the MOD Digital Identity Service offerings.
We intend for this meeting to be the start of a more regular engagement with industry going forward.
We would like to bring our main strategists, planners and delivery managers together with Industry make sure that Industry is aware of where we are going as a programme as well as explore how best to develop the current asks that have been made of the programme, to help shape how best to seek Industry support and also to look further ahead and see what we should be preparing for.
