CONNECTING THROUGH TECH BRIDGES
Our regional Tech Bridges help Naval leaders address operational challenges with solutions that can scale globally. This connected network of innovation hubs enhances collaboration between Naval Labs, industry, academia, and other military organizations.
How Tech Bridges Work
When NavalX takes on a new effort, our Tech Bridges serve as technology scouts, local networking hubs, and connection points to Naval Warfare Centers and Labs to make sure we bring the best possible technology to the table for consideration
These strategically located teams offer a more easily accessible way for the Department of the Navy to foster collaboration, build productive partnerships, and speed delivery of solutions to Sailors and Marines. Tech Bridges are an essential link between Naval technologists and local startup ecosystems across the country — and around the world.
Connect with your local tech bridge to see how you fit in.
The Front Door for Industry
NavalX Tech Bridges are the doorway to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps contracts for startups, small businesses, academia, and local experts. Our Tech Bridges have the connections and expertise to help nontraditional technologists navigate the Naval innovation ecosystem.
Understanding What Matters
Most NavalX Tech Bridges are associated with a Naval Warfare Center or lab, which means they have direct insight into the challenges facing Sailors and Marines — and what's being done to address them. This deep understanding allows our Tech Bridges to source commercial technologies that complement and supplement existing Naval systems, tools, and research. All so we can solve problems faster.
Supporting Local Innovators
Tech Bridges are embedded in local startup and scaleup ecosystems to scout relevant technology, match it to Naval needs, and provide nontraditional companies with resources to more easily work with the Department of the Navy. By operating off-base directly in communities, Tech Bridges build connections with industry, academia, and local governments that result in richer regional innovation.
