SVH Capital Presents: Dual Tech Summit 2026
About Event
The Dual Tech Innovation Summit hosted by SVH Capital is a premier event designed to bridge the gap between commercial tech innovators and the defense/public sector. By fostering a "dual-use" ecosystem, the summit aims to accelerate the deployment of cutting-edge technologies (AI, Robotics, Cyber, Space) into mission-critical environments while ensuring commercial scalability.
Mission
To empower military veterans and mission-driven founders to build the next generation of dual-use technologies that strengthen national security, economic resilience, and technological leadership.
Event Proceeds
In collaboration with American Legion San Francisco Post 1 and Post 599, scholarships will be donated to support for The American Legion California Boys & Girls State Program. Students will be participate in a high-energy, hands-on crucible where delegates plunge into the living mechanics of citizenship: rights, privileges, and responsibilities. This is not lecture-style civics. It’s government in motion. Built on the California State Constitution, the program teaches city, county, and state government through real, fast-paced experience.
