Meeting the Mission: Insights from HSWERX & Homeland Security Startup Studio

Purpose

HSWERX, in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Technology Transfer & Commercialization Branch and the Homeland Security Startup Studio (HSSS) Program, will host a live webinar designed to help startups, small businesses, and innovators learn how to collaborate with DHS to bring transformative mission solutions to the public. It will provide a clear overview of the HSWERX and HSSS programs, and practical guidance for engaging with the DHS innovation ecosystem.

This webinar will also launch the HSSS Science, Education, Entrepreneurship, and Deployment (SEED) Seminar Series, a two-part program this summer. SEED Seminars are learning opportunities for DHS staff and others to expand their understanding of mechanisms for moving technologies from lab to market, improving research and development impact and outcomes. ‍
