Government and defense sectors are increasingly relying on commercial services, creating promising opportunities for startups in dual-use technology. However, entering this highly regulated and traditional landscape poses a significant challenge for young and agile companies. How can emerging businesses compete with established primes for contracts and attention? And how can investors effectively support these endeavors?
TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 will feature industry trailblazers Even Rogers, CEO and co-founder of True Anomaly; Tim Solms, CEO of Slingshot Aerospace; and Mel Stricklan, executive director at Space Workforce for Tomorrow.
