  MEET FACE-TO-FACE  


The Defense TechConnect Innovation Summit and Expo connects the US Department of Defense and other federal agencies with cutting edge innovation that will improve the work and lives of the warfighters and have a profound impact on society.


Most solutions have dual-use and represent an opportunity for national defense, as well as an impact on civilian life. We provide an opportunity for leading technology and solution providers to meet face-to-face with government scouts and investors seeking to explore, partner with, and purchase innovation.
