Innovation.
Adoption. At Scale.

For National Security.

America doesn’t suffer from an innovation problem. But our national security does suffer from an innovation adoption problem.


A PROVEN PARTNER

Trusted Across the National Security Ecosystem

For over a decade, SVDG has aligned capital, policy, and innovation to break down barriers to national security innovation.

THE ADOPTION GAP
OUR ECOSYSTEM

Three Stakeholders. 
One Shared Responsibility.

Yet each operate in siloed ecosystems. Information asymmetry runs rampant. Business as usual persists. The future of national security suffers.

Connects this disparate ecosystem, enabling access to typically inaccessible customers and forges a common understanding of mission needs, market realities, and adoption pathways.

Three stakeholder groups own responsibility for fixing this problem:

Industry

Capital

Government

Convening Change Agents

Highly curated gatherings designed to move ideas into action. Salon Dinners, Public Conferences and Events, Panels, and the SVDG Industry Council.

Communicating Inside the Ecosystem

Data-Driven Analysis, Published Reports, Targeted Advocacy, and the NatSec100 report.

Converting Problems → Policy → Outcomes

Ensuring industry inputs for legislation, supporting congressional initiatives and defense modernization caucuses, policy implementation.

OUR ECOSYSTEM

More Than a Forum

SVDG is not a forum. Our challenges are well known and documented.

Enough talking. 


SVDG is a platform for sustained, year-round coordination and execution.

The problem is hard. 

SVDG collects and convenes the change agents making a difference inside Government, Industry, and Capital.
