The Innovation Summit brings together government innovation leaders, defense-tech founders, venture investors, researchers and veteran technologists at the intersection of national security, space and frontier technology. Programming will explore emerging technology priorities, funding and partnership pathways across defense and space, with sessions spanning the Defense Innovation Unit and national laboratories, military innovation organizations, AI at the edge of national security, autonomous systems, space and venture capital. A major focus will be the San Francisco Bay Area’s role as a convergence point for AI, venture capital and defense innovation, including the debut of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute’s new report examining the region’s defense-tech ecosystem.
