The third annual Federal Technology Symposium (FTS), hosted by the Office of US Senator Thom Tillis, the Office of US Senator Ted Budd, Fayetteville Technical Community College (FTCC), the North Carolina Military Business Center, and the North Carolina Defense Technology Transition Office (DEFTECH) is returning to Fayetteville in 2024.
The event will take place Aug. 6 at FTCC’s Tony Rand Student Center, Multi-Purpose Room (building #7).
The FTS will highlight the advanced technology needs of major military commands in North Carolina, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), along with the correlating capabilities of the innovation ecosystem in North Carolina and the Southeast. The Symposium aims to establish dialogue and partnerships between industry, academia, and government to address the future technology needs of America’s warfighters and security agencies.
Beginning with a pressing tactical scenario and a series of in-depth roundtable discussions, thought leaders with diverse views will explore pressing Defense and Homeland Security needs and how they may be addressed collaboratively through an expansive innovation ecosystem. Discussions will include emerging technologies, collaboration for innovation, the future of warfare and security in the face of mounting threats and demonstrations of dual-use advanced technologies that may help satisfy rapidly evolving requirements.
The North Carolina Defense Technology Transition (DEFTECH) Office seeks organizations with innovative technologies related to national critical and emerging technology requirements. By participating in this program, selected TIDE quad charts will have the opportunity to exhibit at the Federal Technology Symposium at a discounted exhibit rate of $250 which includes a complimentary table-top display (with chairs and electricity) and two tickets for the Symposium.
Target technologies include but are not limited to: biotechnology, quantum science, future generation wireless technology (FutureG), advanced materials, trusted AI and autonomy, integrated network systems-of-systems, microelectronics, space technology, renewable energy generation and storage, advanced computing and software, human-machine interfaces, directed energy, hypersonics, integrated sensing and cyber.
