According to a recent LinkedIn post from Valarian, the company is collaborating with Looking For Growth on an event scheduled for March 19 in Covent Garden focused on U.K. defence, cyber, and national security.

The post indicates that confirmed speakers include Sir Jim Hockenhull, a four-star general and former Commander of Cyber & Specialist Operations Command, and Gemma Ungoed-Thomas, Director for State Threats, Cyber and Technology in the Cabinet Office. Their backgrounds in defence intelligence and national cyber strategy suggest the event may position Valarian within high-level policy and security discussions.
From an investor perspective, participation in an event featuring such senior defence and government stakeholders could enhance Valarian’s visibility and credibility in the national security and cyber ecosystem. This positioning may support future business development opportunities, particularly in government-facing or defence-related markets, though the post does not disclose any direct commercial agreements or revenue implications.
The emphasis on topics such as state threats, cyber operations, and national security strategy suggests alignment with growing U.K. and global spending on cybersecurity and defence technology. If the event deepens Valarian’s relationships with key decision makers, it could contribute to long-term strategic advantages, including potential partnerships or contracts in these high-growth, policy-sensitive domains.
