Private capital is the lifeblood of our innovation economy. For the U.S. R&D community, it is increasingly a defining factor that shapes and scales critical technologies, many of which are vital to national security. The Department of Defense is facing a critical inflection point where fostering private investment in US DoD projects is vital for establishing a dominant position in the current geopolitical landscape. As the nation’s leader in R&D collaboration management, Advanced Technology International (ATI) is facilitating a series of discussions featuring stakeholders, investors and innovators on the role of private capital and the future of emerging critical technologies. Join us as we discuss the Office of Strategic Capital’s initiatives, investing in dual-use technologies, stability in commercial banking and the future of M&A.

Industry, government and academia will gather in-person on June 13 to examine the findings of a report by the Baroni Center for Government Contracting, The Power of Many: Leveraging Consortia to Promote Innovation, Expand the Defense Industrial Base, and Accelerate Acquisition. The report is co-authored by Baroni Center Senior Fellow Stephanie Halcrow and Moshe Schwartz, President of Etherton & Associates. Both will participate as panelists.

The first panel will discuss The Consortia Model’s Impact on the DIB and Innovation. Among the insights to be shared are how the consortia model improves the health and resiliency of the defense industrial base as well as provide the government and industry with a powerful tool to spur innovation. Joining Halcrow and Schwartz on the panel is Brigadier General Al Abramson (retired).

The second panel, How to Leverage OTs and Consortia to Grow Your Business, takes a deeper dive into this topic by examining OTAs, the consortia model, and how government and industry partners leverage these vehicles to diversify their suppliers and grow their customer base. Speakers include Katie Bilek, Chris Hoffman, Greg Sanders, Jay Rouse and Mike Stebbins.

We get it – we’re all ready to get back at it. But, this is NOT business as usual.  Let’s #DoThingsDifferently to grow our businesses in ways we haven’t done before. Let’s be efficient and effective while still building with a purpose.

AGENDA

Alternative Acquisition Vehicles: Not your mother’s FAR-based options, let’s talk about leverage OTA’s and the 30+ OTA consortia to bring you new customers and partners.

Procurement Trends You Need to Know:  No more butts-in-seats work. What is the government buying in support of its evolving needs?

Don’t be a #BasicBid: Let’s bid things differently. Ghost the competition. Be proactive about your supply chain security.  Write proposals like you mean it.

M&A Reality Check: Yes, there’s been a ton of consolidation in the govcon space.  So, who’s still buying? And, what are the buying? And can they buy YOU?
