When it comes to technology and innovation, agencies often find private sector technologies too risky, difficult to integrate, or not specific enough to government. Yet answers to some of the government’s biggest problems may already be out there — even right in front of us.

Join Dcode42, Potomac Institute of Policy Studies, and One Defense as we explore the risks, rewards, and methods of solving government’s big problems with non-traditional commercial technologies.

Watch companies battle on-the-spot to solve real-life DoD challenges. Attendees will also have an exclusive opportunity to see demos from innovative, hand-selected technologies hitting the government market.

Registration for this event is limited to Federal Government employees, Dcode42 cohort companies, and sponsors.
