Join us for Capital Factory’s Monthly Defense Innovation Ask Me Anything presented by MITRE! You will hear a comprehensive overview from experienced professionals in the defense scene and also get a chance to introduce yourself and ask questions. This is your chance to learn about new defense opportunities, working with the government, defense fast track programs and much more.

This month, Capital Factory invites the Tech Bridge Director of NavalX, Whitney Tallarico, to speak to her role as an international super-connector to achieve common goals in defense innovation. Come learn how Whitney helps foster the growth of NavalX Tech Bridge hubs across the nation and beyond.

Capital Factory is partnering with MITRE to highlight leadership in defense innovation through the Introduction to Defense Innovation & AMA series. MITRE is dedicated to solving problems for a safer world. MITRE’s federally funded R&D centers and public-private partnerships reach across government to tackle challenges to the safety, stability, and well-being of our nation. Together, Capital Factory and MITRE are creating connections across industry, government, and academia.

Capital Factory welcomes MITRE Guest Host Nick Rotker, MITRE Department Manager for Underwater and Acoustics Systems, who will host this month’s speaker.
