Northwest Defense Innovation Outreach Seminar 

Hear about opportunities with military procurement and investment agencies that are interested in connecting with Pacific Northwest companies that offer new technologies, innovative products, unique services, or commercial products that can solve a defense agency challenge. Hear and ask your questions of these defense agencies with direct sales and research & development programs! 

The goal of this program is to connect innovative Pacific Northwest companies with opportunities to support the important missions of the U.S. Department of Defense and other Federal agencies through procurement, technical assistance, and innovative funding programs.
