OUR MISSION
The Navy TechConnect virtual showcase provides companies with a highly efficient virtual platform to present their capabilities, expertise, and technologies to a broader segment of the Navy technical workforce, fostering valuable partnerships and collaboration opportunities.​
Our platform offers a flexible and cost-effective format for engagement, allowing companies to gain significant benefits without the expenses associated with travel and other engagement methods. Opportunities to engage with the Navy, such as Navy TechConnect, opens doors to new collaboration efforts for companies. Companies will gain a better understanding of the Navy’s problem sets, enabling them to tailor their offerings to align with the Navy’s needs. Exposure to cutting-edge ideas and technologies can inspire new ideas and approaches within their own R&D efforts. By engaging in these knowledge-sharing sessions, companies contribute to a culture of innovation and diversity of thought, benefiting both their own development processes and the Navy’s technological advancement. .
