Encountering Innovation
Nov 13 - 17, 2023 | Johnson County Community College (KC Metro)
Tech Transfer and Matchmaking Collaboration with Federal Agency Tech Scouts and Prime Contractors.
Encountering Innovation has quickly become one of the top US Pitch Events for Innovators/Inventors to present and showcase their technology to US Government Tech Scouts for special funding. Tech Scouts from the Department of Defense, Service Labs, Academia, and most US government agencies prioritize attending this week-long event to listen to pitches, examine poster board displays, discuss government needs, and chat with innovators from 8+ states during lunches and evening networking events.
DoD Tech Scouts and Prime Contractors are looking for innovation and manufacturing capability solutions through intentional matched private pitch sessions.
