The U.S. Department of War’s SciTechCONNECT program is coming to Jackson for a one-day event bringing together researchers, innovators, companies, and regional technology leaders directly with the DoW science and technology community.
Space for in-person attendance is limited. Register early to reserve your spot.
If you are developing technology or advancing research with potential national security applications, this is an opportunity to hear directly from DoW leaders, understand how your work aligns with Critical Technology Areas (CTAs), identify potential funding sources, and learn how to engage with the Department.
Join us in person at Jackson State University or attend virtually. While both options provide access to the program, in-person attendance is strongly encouraged for those who want to take full advantage of networking and relationship-building opportunities with DoW representatives, researchers, companies, and other participants.
