The National Security and Economic Resilience Summit will bring together leaders from defense, finance, manufacturing, technology, government, and higher education on November 10, 2026, at The Star in Frisco, Texas, for a day of discussion focused on strengthening America’s industrial base and strategic competitiveness. Centered on the theme, Strategic Resilience: Fortifying the Arsenal of Democracy - Strengthening America's Industrial Base & Strategic Competitiveness, the summit is designed as a high-level forum on the intersection of national security, economic strategy, and industrial capacity.
Presented in partnership with the University of North Texas National Security and Economic Strategy Center, the Fort Worth Air & Space Technology Center, the UNT Military History Center, and related stakeholders, the summit will feature remarks, fireside conversations, panel discussions, and executive-level engagement around the policy and market forces shaping U.S. resilience. The program is structured to connect public-sector strategy with private-sector innovation, emphasizing practical collaboration across defense, energy, manufacturing, technology, logistics, and investment communities.
Summit discussions will examine a range of pressing issues affecting long-term national and economic security. Featured topics include the D.I.M.E. framework and the “new arsenal of democracy,” contested logistics and defense industrial base capacity, rare earth elements, semiconductors, energy security, workforce development, reshoring, cyber strategy, cognitive overmatch, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous systems, and resilience in space and cyberspace.
The event will also highlight the importance of historical perspective in contemporary strategy through a featured segment on military history, international relations, and lessons for modern decision-making. In addition to policy and industry themes, the summit is intended to foster dialogue among corporate executives, military leaders, investors, government officials, and academic partners working to strengthen strategic readiness and economic durability.
The broader summit platform includes a CEO Executive Roundtable and a VIP reception, both designed to extend discussion beyond the main program and encourage direct engagement among senior leaders from the United States and allied international partners. These related events underscore the summit’s role as a convening space for cross-sector cooperation on supply chain resilience, critical infrastructure, strategic investment, and mutual defense partnerships.
Hosts identified in the planning outline include Dr. Harrison Keller, President of the University of North Texas, and Jim Hodgson, with William Hamilton serving as Program Director for the National Security & Economic Strategy Center.[file:1] The summit outline also identifies participation and involvement from leaders associated with UNT, JPMorgan Chase, Hillwood, the Dallas Federal Reserve, military leadership circles, and major industrial and aerospace stakeholders.
