The event will culminate in the $100,000 Autonomous Drones & Mobility Investment Challenge focused on startups whose technologies leverage hardware and/or software solutions to enhance the future of autonomous systems and mobility. The challenge will include five technology startup finalists that will be judged by a panel of successful entrepreneurs, defense industry leaders, and venture capitalists.
