What is HMGCC Co-Creation?
HMGCC Co-Creation is a partnership with DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory), created to deliver a new, bold and innovative way of working with the wider UK science and technology community. We bring together the best in class across industry, academia and Government, to work collaboratively on National Security Engineering challenges and accelerate innovation. Co-Creation is the front door to the HMGCC technology eco-system.
How we work
Our growing network of Community Collaborators connects us to the UK ecosystem of industrial, academic and technology organisations, extending our reach and capability beyond our established, traditional supplier base.
Our Community Collaborators
Our network is currently made up of 10 Community Collaborators.

How are we different?
We focus on problem statements rather than locking ourselves to specific requirement sets, which means we can think freely and work in an agile and iterative way. All our projects are run at OFFICIAL level – the lowest security classification – so our engineers and our end-users can work hand-in-hand with anyone who’s able to bring us a brilliant concept. Working together in this way, we can break down barriers, accelerate the rate of innovation and create more real-world impact.
Co-Creation spaces
We are one of 8 Co-Creation Spaces brought together by the National Security Technology and Innovation Exchange (NSTIx) – each working on a different technical area of expertise across government. You can find out more about Co-Creation Spaces on the NSTIx website.
