Accelerating Innovative Dual-Use Tech for Aerospace & Defense LA #TechWeek

​In the last few years, there has been a noted increase of investments into dual-use emerging technologies that can be used for national security/defense as well as civilian/commercial applications. Industry, government, and private equity are each doing their part to help these technologies find their place within the A&D ecosystem. More importantly, how will this focus on commercial tech adoption help reinvigorate and transform the defense industry?  Join us for an exciting conversation as we bring together a panel that will have representation from industry, government, startup, and the investor community. The panel will be followed by lunch and networking.
