What to expect
The inaugural event in the Northern Virginia Technology Council's Mission Tech Series looks at how to speed up the move from promising technology to operational capability. It covers how government can access commercial innovation, how industry can integrate and scale new technologies and how private capital can support evolving mission needs, drawing on lessons from space, national security and other government missions. Expect discussion of what is working, what barriers remain and what it will take to move faster, plus networking over lunch.
