About this Event
What happens when cutting-edge technology is built to serve both civilian and defense needs? Dual-use innovation is shaping the future of national security, economic growth, and real-world problem solving, and it is moving faster than ever.
Join Ret. Commander Chris Steele and Michael Anne Taylor for a candid conversation on navigating the intersection of government, industry, and innovation. Drawing on decades of experience across intelligence, defense, and medical research and development, including work with the Central Intelligence Agency, United States Army, United States Navy, and the Department of War, they will share where emerging technologies are most needed, how innovators can navigate both government and commercial markets, and practical pathways for bringing civilian-developed technologies into government use.
