Plug in NeoCity! Silicon on the Frontline
Join us for an evening of innovation, insight, and networking at NeoCity, hosted in partnership with Osceola County and Plug and Play, as we bring together leaders from venture capital, advanced manufacturing, and the innovation ecosystem for a timely discussion on the future of defense and semiconductor technology.
As semiconductors, critical materials, and advanced manufacturing become increasingly important to national security, innovative companies are navigating a growing landscape of funding opportunities—from SBIR/STTR programs and state innovation resources to venture capital and strategic federal investment. Our featured panel, Funding the Future: Capital Strategies for Defense & Semiconductor Innovation, will explore how entrepreneurs can leverage these pathways to accelerate commercialization, scale breakthrough technologies, and strengthen America's defense industrial base.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, investor, researcher, student, or simply curious about the technologies shaping our future, this event offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, connect with the region's innovation community, and gain valuable insight into the evolving defense technology ecosystem.
Following the panel discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to network with fellow innovators, founders, investors, and ecosystem partners driving the next generation of technological advancement.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of NeoCity's thriving innovation community and explore how capital, technology, and collaboration are fueling the future of national security and economic growth.
