SENEDIA, the Alliance for Defense Tech, Talent, and Innovation, yesterday concluded the 10th anniversary convening of Defense Innovation Days, their signature national event that brings together nearly 400 of the most influential decisionmakers in national security and leading innovators in the defense industry.

“For a decade, Defense Innovation Days has been a can’t-miss event for all those working in service of our national defense,” said U.S. Senator Jack Reed, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “There is tremendous value in bringing government, academia, and industry together to discuss how we can work together more effectively to protect democracy and strengthen the economy. I am grateful to SENEDIA for making these connections happen and keeping their foot on the gas to accelerate innovation in defense technology.”
