Don’t miss your chance to hear directly from David Busigo, the Senior Advisor and the Director of the Rapid Integrated Scalable Program (RISE). RISE bridges the gap between research and deployment, taking advanced R&D projects and maturing them into production-ready technologies. Key objectives include reducing technical risk, lowering lifecycle costs, and accelerating critical military capabilities. Projects, often sourced from programs like SBIR/STTR and non-traditional defense vendors, undergo a rigorous selection process designed to emphasize small business participation and innovation.
