Military Training IS the Metaverse: 2022 Central Florida Tech Grove SBIR/STTR Partnership Day

Description

There is a lot of talk about the Metaverse these days.  But the technologies that underpin the metaverse are not new to our nation's military which has been recreating the real world for decades to provide immersive, simulated training.  Join us to see some of the latest metaverse technologies funded by the Department of Defense.t

Join us for our 2022 SBIR/STTR Partnership Day and learn about some of the innovative solutions being funded by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.  Fifteen companies will exhibit their products and give a brief presentation.  They are seeking opportunities for collaboration, funding, sales, teaming and more.  Come see their innovative solutions, learn about the companies, and meet the other government and industry attendees.  

This will be a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual attendance options.  All presenting companies will be in person at Tech Grove.  If you attend in person, you will have the opportunity to visit the presenting company exhibits and network with other attendees from government, industry, and academia. If you register for virtual attendance, you will hear the company presentations and other speakers.  The online meeting information will be provided two days before the event.
