Navigating the U.S. Government's innovation funding landscape can feel overwhelming, but the opportunities for electronics manufacturers and tech companies are substantial. This seminar cuts through the complexity, giving both commercial and defense suppliers a practical starting point for accessing non-dilutive federal funding. Attendees will get a working map of the government innovation ecosystem; programs like SBIR/STTR, ARPA-E, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), CSOs, and OTA consortia, where each serves different technology stages and business profiles. The session highlights where to find funding announcements, which newsletters and resources to follow, and which events create the best opportunities to connect with government customers. Whether you've never pursued a government contract or are looking to expand beyond traditional channels, this session gives you the vocabulary, the key organizations, and the first practical steps to start engaging the federal innovation system on your own terms.
