Innovation on the Front Lines

A new generation of defense tech startups is reshaping national security by bringing Silicon Valley’s speed and software to the front lines. Leaders from Anduril Industries, Vannevar Labs, and Allen Control Systems will discuss how they're deploying AI, autonomous systems, and counter-drone technologies to military users, including the Department of Defense. The conversation will explore scaling in a high-stakes environment, the connections—and tensions—between Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C., and the changing nature of warfare in the 21st century.
