SXSW 2023

Dual-Use Technology as National Security

Description:

There has never been a better time to invest in the next wave of American-focused technology innovation. For decades, the US Government has funded research that led to the development of technology like the Internet, GPS, and cellular communications. To compete globally and defend domestically, future generations require the same public investment, private partnerships, and collective tolerance for risk. This requires backing companies working on meaningful problems related to sustainability, advanced energy, manufacturing, and other sectors that serve the national interest. When you invest in dual-use technology, you accelerate national security, help build America’s technical workforce, and fund ideas that breed prosperity and peace of mind.
