EVONEXUS MIL SIG

Dual-use refers to technology that can be used for both commercial and military aims. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is one example of dual-use.

There is now a prioritization in the procurement of dual-use technology by the US government agencies. High-tech dual-use products present particular challenges for startups navigating well established regulated government ecosystems such as the DoD. Hear from an expert panel of startup founders about their journeys from innovating high-tech concepts to engaging the government. Participate in a lively discussion about how they raise both venture and grant based capital, build the right teams and ultimately market their breakthrough dual-use products.
