Bridging Innovation

Our VISION is a diverse innovation ecosystem working together for a safer world.

Our MISSION is to build pathways to discover, accelerate, and deliver innovation from non-traditional sources to solve national problems.

Why Bridging Innovation?

The current pace of technology is moving quickly, creating new opportunities and new challenges.

To adapt to this evolving world, we’ve built a framework for how to plug into and harness the power of the innovation community in order to more quickly deliver capabilities into the hands of the federal government.
