Why attend

This exclusive, small-scale gathering brings together a highly curated mix of investors and entrepreneurs in defense, energy, mobility, materials, AI, and supply chain resilience to:

  • Discuss deep, focused insights on how all of these specific sectors intersect to shape next-generation defense innovation and applications

  • Curate networking with top-tier peers, investors, and government partners in an intimate setting

  • Showcase leading startups that offer investable technologies and practical strategies for collaboration across multiple sectors

  • Set a precedent for wider, actionable discussions to then take place at the flagship GCVI Summit in Monterey in March, following a detailed industry playbook led by the GCV Defense Council on the findings from recent previous GCV events, most notably the GCV Symposium, the GCV Asia Congress and this forum in Washington, DC
