THE BR-DGE Fight Tonight Collider Event: Supporting Space Systems Command’s “Fight Tonight” Competition
Space Systems Command (SSC) has launched its 4th annual "Fight Tonight" competition, an initiative designed to accelerate the development of critical space capabilities. This year's competition, significantly expanded through a new partnership with SpaceWERX, offers up to $24 million in additional funding for innovative projects.
This year marks a strategic collaboration with SpaceWERX, targeting Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II projects. SpaceWERX will match up to $2 million per project, complementing SSC's commitment of $12 million. This combined funding has the potential to inject up to $24 million across multiple SBIR Phase II awards. The final proposal will be submitted by the government.
Join us for our Fight Tonight Collider, a matchmaking event, between the SSC workforce and industry who will seek potential partners for the Fight Tonight competition. The submission window is open now through August 22, 2025.
