The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) established the Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP) to keep pace with the innovation community and tackle the hardest problems faced by DHS’s operational missions. The SVIP is expanding DHS’s reach to find new technologies that strengthen national security with the goal of reshaping how government, entrepreneurs and industry work together to find cutting-edge solutions. DHS is reaching out to innovation communities across the nation to harness the commercial R&D ecosystem for government applications, co-invest in ideas and accelerate transition-to-market.
This session will present an overview of the SVIP, give you an update on progress to date, and provide you with an opportunity to hear directly from SVIP Portfolio Companies to learn more about their experiences in the program and their work in support of DHS requirements.
