The Defense Energy Summit is being held in Austin this week (Nov 11-13) will gather stakeholders and working groups to build the foundation for a new Defense Energy Center of Excellence. The summit’s focus will center on this proposed initiative and how to accelerate clean energy and infrastructure solutions for the DOD.
The Tech Ranch® is excited to be a Supporting Partner of the conference and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Fall Summit.
Just this week, the Department of Defense and the National Security Technology Accelerator announced a new $100 million Energy Innovation Authority. The Initiative will focus on rapid Prototype and Test opportunities for defense and non-defense companies and research organizations.
The SBIR programs are highly competitive, encouraging small businesses to engage in Federal Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) work with potential for commercialization. Representatives from all 11 federal agencies with SBIR programs will attend to help entrepreneurs and businesses learn how they can participate in these innovation programs.
