For our final Business as Usual webcast, we will welcome T. Ryan Whelan of the Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). DIU strengthens our national security by accelerating the adoption of commercial technology throughout the military and growing the national security innovation base.
Whelan will detail how DIU partners with organizations across the Department of Defense (DoD), from the services and components to combatant commands and defense agencies, to rapidly prototype and field advanced commercial solutions that address national security challenges. With offices in Silicon Valley, Boston, Austin, and the Pentagon, DIU connects its DoD partners with leading technology companies across the country.
