The spirit of American innovation and entrepreneurship is our greatest asset.

This moment, characterized by the convergence of government acquisition reforms, policy incentives, and the strategic realignment of our national security objectives, signals a new era of innovation and investment that is not just promising but essential for our nation’s defense. We are witnessing firsthand the transformative power of technology to secure our nation’s future.

Moreover, the current geopolitical climate, marked by escalating tensions and increased military expenditures globally, underscores the urgency of our mission. The surge in global defense spending, driven by the need to address emerging threats and maintain strategic dominance, creates a fertile ground for defense tech innovation. This environment, while challenging, presents unparalleled opportunities for startups and established players alike to contribute to our national security.

The challenge before us is significant. Our adversaries are not waiting; they are actively investing in their own technological advancements. To maintain and extend our strategic advantage, we must be willing to take bold risks and support the development of defense technologies that can ensure our security in the decades to come.
