The Defense Alliance of North Carolina will hold its upcoming S&T forum on Nov. 16 at Fayetteville State University.
“I am doing a series of [science and technology] forums with the UNC System, including all its HBCUs to highlight their high value, bringing researchers, innovators, business developers together,” said Phil Williams, chair of the Defense Alliance of NC Science & Technology Committee and Forums.
In preparation for the event, Williams has spent months speaking with FSU about their insights into science and technology. “Over the last 4 months, I have been speaking with Fayetteville State University,” he explained, “and their Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Intelligent Systems research professors, and FSU Cyber team.”
Williams notes that attending the forum might be particularly of value to locally based, DOD, science and technology-focused companies.
