DELIVERING INNOVATION TO OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE
Join global innovation, business and defense leadership as they accelerate state-of-art technology solutions in support of national security and the warfighter.
The Defense Innovation Technology Acceleration Challenges brings the Nation’s largest technology prospecting program to deliver state-of-the-art solutions for National Security needs. DITAC 2016 is co-located with the 4th Annual Defense Innovation Summit and SBIR/STTR Innovation Summit.
DITAC 2016 is a summit that connects the world’s top vetted technologies with DOD aligned problem-sets. Over one thousand innovations were submitted into the DITAC 2015 Innovation Challenge programs across Energy, Cyber, Materials, Systems, and Medical sectors. The Challenges bring together the private-sector and defense innovation communities to accelerate state-of-the-art-technologies into the hands of warfighter through dual-use government and industry commercialization opportunities.
Attendees range from DOD and military leadership, corporate and technology executives, project finance investors, technology developers, members of the media and implementers across all sectors of the traditional energy, cyber, medical, materials & defense system communities.
