The Defense Innovation Unit is committed to accelerating the adoption of commercial technology to solve operational challenges at speed and scale within the U.S. Department of Defense. Core to this mission is lowering the barriers to entry to the DoD marketplace and connecting the commercial ecosystem with the most critical warfighter needs. As we look to increase understanding of our processes, activities, and engagement opportunities, we invite you to join us for our new series of virtual office hours.
Each session will provide an overview of how our programs and services come to life, along with an update of warfighter demand signals driving current activities. Additionally, special deep dive presentations will give audience members actionable insights. Audience members are encouraged to bring their questions as panelists will leave time for a Q&A session at the end of our scheduled overviews.
The events are open to the public. We encourage you to attend if you:
Have never heard of the Defense Innovation Unit;
Are curious about the lifecycle of a DIU CSO, Challenge, or Accelerator program;
Are interested in diving deep for a richer understanding of DIU; or
Have a question you’d like answered.
