Encountering Innovation (EI) is a program offering opportunities for innovators, government tech scouts and manufacturing & technology companies (from Federal Agency Prime Contractors to Small Businesses) to collaborate with each other for Commercialization and Contracting purposes via Private Tech Transfer Pitches and Matchmaking Sessions.

​

EI is not limited to warfighter or aeronautical technologies. Federal Agencies from various branches of government need almost everything you would need because of the great number of humans employed. If you think you have an innovation that can assist the federal government in medical, health, cyber,  electronics, construction, operations, and power and energy industries, EI is for you!
