Opportunities for Startups
PROBLEM: The DoD is in constant need of new technologies, products, and services to maintain military superiority; however, innovation gaps manifest due to organizational size, acquisition complexity, and regulations required by government organizations. As a result, internal government “zero to one” development of new capabilities can only move at a methodical and linear pace.
SOLUTION: Startups and academic institutions deliver the rapid cutting-edge development the DoD needs without bringing significant overhead and development costs.
