DOE SBIR/STTR Community:

I wanted to bring to your attention the AFWERX Accelerate event to be held the week of December 7^th. The event will highlight initiatives to bring in innovative technologies from companies that have traditionally not worked in the defense sector to address future needs of the Air and Space Force. Of particular interest would be day 2 which focuses on SBIR and STTR. You can register for the event here: https://afwerx.com/register/

LAUNCHING A UNIVERSE OF OPPORTUNITY

Join us for this exciting virtual event to learn all about AFWERX’s efforts and partnership opportunities to accelerate collaborative capability development, emerging technology trends, research and development, and fostering innovative and courageous problem-solvers for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.

The event will launch at noon ET on December 7 with programming and networking opportunities across 5 days designed to educate government audiences on how to plug into AFWERX’s innovation efforts as well as industry and academic audiences to understand how to partner with the Air Force and Space Force to support our national security.
