The path to partnering with federal R&D just got shorter. ERDCWERX and HSWERX — two of DEFENSEWERX's dedicated innovation hubs — are breaking down barriers between federal agencies and the innovators, companies, and universities ready to solve their toughest challenges. Through tech challenges, curated events, and streamlined contracting mechanisms, these hubs are accelerating the pipeline from idea to agreement — and a growing number of contracts are being awarded to industry and academia as a result.

Join Craig Zamary, Director of HSWERX, and Paul Sumrall, Director of ERDCWERX, as they walk through current opportunities, the submission process, and how to engage with two of the most active collaboration ecosystems in federal R&D.
