Dual Use Ventures '25 Mission Meetup
Join us for the Dual-Use Ventures Mission Meetup, a dynamic networking event designed to foster connections among students, entrepreneurs, researchers, and leaders in the dual-use technology ecosystem. Held on Thursday, January 30, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, this gathering is the culmination of the MIT Dual-Use Ventures program. Half the time is reserved for networking and half for expert talks. The event will invite our academic program participants to swap key takeaways from the course, spark informal discussions on pressing challenges in dual-use ventures with the greater Boston "defense tech" community, and create opportunities for professional collaboration. Whether you’re a student, startup founder, or industry veteran, this meetup offers a chance to explore the evolving intersection of defense and commercial innovation in an engaging and interactive setting.
