That's-

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
We talk about rapid adoption a lot, and I always wonder, where is the rapid in that? So with this particular case, there was a great company called MyLanguage, and they innovate, uh, using a handheld translation voice-to-voice device, and it's offline.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
So you can imagine how helpful that would be in a disaster zone or in a conflict.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
How does a UK army officer speak to them, understand what the threat is? So that's what that capability is, and that's the sort of value it can add to the war fighter.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
So in this case, we had the UK MOD JHEARTMed come to us saying, "Actually, we need this in medical emergencies, so do you have something like this?" Uh, and we looked through our cohort, right? We've been around for three years.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
And we said, "Yes, there's this brilliant company, and it really fits the bill." So as soon as that request came in, we obviously connected the innovator to the end user.

I was wondering if you could expand a bit on, uh, h- how you see dual-use and how dual-use fits into the, uh, uh, the DIANA mandate.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
So I think dual-use, um, a highly contested, [laughs] uh, term, right? So, uh, some people think it's helpful and some don't.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
We can't keep relying on the same players in defense, and we have to diversify our, uh, industrial base, right? So we need new ideas, we need that fresh talent in so that governments, uh, have more choice, right? Uh, and that's exactly what we're trying to do with dual-use.

Jyoti Hirani-DriverGUEST
So we know there are great technologies in the civilian space, and if you look at it, you know, the time for procurement, pro- uh, procurement in the civilian space is so much shorter than, uh, in the defense space.
