Mobilizing Capital for Defense: Tactics and Recommendations

This convening of industry, investors, and senior government decision-makers will mark the publication of a new research report by the NDIA Emerging Technologies Institute, Mobilizing Capital for Defense: Tactics and Recommendations. This event will be open to members of the press.

The report outlines how the Department of Defense primarily mobilizes private investment through three levers: demand signals, catalytic capital, and an investable business environment, and why these tools are most powerful when used together. Drawing on interviews and recent case studies, the report describes how investors evaluate the defense industrial base, and where current government processes can inhibit the business case for investment. 

The program includes a brief overview of key findings, as well as panel presentations focused on practical steps forward. Refreshments will be provided.
