Prove it in simulation.
Win it in procurement.
Sim2Proof connects defence startups, supply chain companies and primes in one simulation proven ecosystem. Innovators validate their designs virtually and reach qualification faster; primes gain early sight of the technology and partners they will need next.
One programme, value for the whole ecosystem
Innovators and university research come in, Sim2Proof proves, funds and markets them, and primes, suppliers and investors gain access to validated defence technology.
Built for the companies shaping the next generation of defence capability
Universities
Research groups and spinouts turning academic breakthroughs into defence capability, with a route to industry partners, funding and real programmes.
Defence startups
Early stage companies with breakthrough technology that need to prove performance and credibility before the first major contract.
Supply chain companies
Specialist suppliers ready to move up the chain, strengthen sovereign capability and meet the evidence demands of today's programmes.
Primes and integrators
Join the ecosystem to see emerging technology early and find proven partners, suppliers and acquisition opportunities.
An ecosystem of proven innovation, ready when you need it
The pace of change in defence means no prime can design and develop everything in house. Sim2Proof gives you a curated community of companies whose technology is already validated in simulation, so when a new requirement lands you have partners to choose from, not a search to start.
Cadence and HAH Software act as trusted advisers, bringing you the right companies at the right time.
