Gulf Coast Defense Catalyst: Innovation Industry Day

Gulf Coast Defense Catalyst (GCDC) and its four Naval Command Partners will host the region’s first Innovation Industry Day on Wednesday, September 2, 9am to 4pm, at the NOPSI Hotel. Expect speakers, panels, and plenty of networking time with Navy reps and other defense agencies along the Gulf Coast. Academia, venture capital, and innovation ecosystem leaders will be there as well.

The Navy’s topic of interest: seabed-to-surface maritime attritable sensing.

If you are a defense tech startup or researcher with dual-use tech directly or indirectly related to the topic, apply for a chance to table and demo your technology to Navy reps looking for real solutions. Applications are now closed.
