⚡ SolutionLAB / Mission Match: Defense Innovation Forum is LIVE! ⚡📅 October 28, 2025 / 1pm CT | 📍 Stovehouse, Huntsville, AL
The future of national security depends on innovation—and SolutionLAB / Mission Match is where it happens.
Unlike traditional pitch competitions, we flip the script:
✔ Defense and Industry Partners outline their non-classified technology focus areas and capability gaps.
✔ Startups apply to pitch solutions directly aligned with those needs.
✔ Investors and advisors join the panel to evaluate dual-use potential, scalability, and venture opportunities.
This isn’t about ideas in the abstract—it’s about connecting mission-critical priorities with breakthrough technologies to:
➡ Accelerate the discovery of dual-use innovations
➡ Surface non-traditional vendors and agile solution providers
➡ Create real pathways for pilots, partnerships, and adoption
Last year, more than 80 startups applied nationwide, with 15 finalists pitching to defense agencies, national security partners, and investors. This year, we’re partnering with the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber and Parallax Advanced Research and raising the bar even higher.
Whether you’re a defense stakeholder seeking solutions, a startup building mission-ready tech, or an investor scouting dual-use opportunities, SolutionLAB / Mission Match is your chance to be part of something bigger: advancing innovation that protects and empowers our nation.
