DTA Tech Showcase
Meet the Companies Solving the Navy's Hardest Problems
You’ve been personally invited to an exclusive evening at Nauticus, where 757 Defend and the Mid-Atlantic Tech Bridge (MATB) will showcase the inaugural Defense Technology Accelerator (DTA) cohort. Twelve companies were recruited from across the US that were selected to address Department of Navy technology gaps.
These companies have spent the past nine months embedded in the Hampton Roads defense ecosystem, collaborating with Navy and USMC SMEs, government stakeholders, and acquisition professionals to advance solutions addressing real operational gaps—from unmanned surface vehicle enablers to multi-domain targeting and electromagnetic spectrum monitoring.
Come meet the companies, hear their stories, and see innovation in action against real operational gaps.
This Tech Showcase is part of the official programming of the AFCEA Maritime Operations & Information Warfare Summit hosted in conjunction with the DON CIO Digital Warfighting Symposium and the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NCMS) SEAFAST Forum in downtown Norfolk, 11-14 May. Registration for this event can be found at https://2026-mois.my.canva.site/.
