"Aligned with the nation's Infrastructure Law, the COMPETES Act and the US Innovation and Competition Act, the National Infrastructure Innovation Challenge validates shifts we've seen for some time: resilient infrastructure improvement will define the current generation, supported by funding that will impact many generations to come," said Matthew Laudon, Vice President - TechConnect Division, ATI. "What better place to begin than with the innovation community? From energy to 5G, from sensors to rare earths, we're proud to partner with the country's leading technology consortia as they accelerate and fund top solution providers for the good of the nation."
Finalists represent areas of interest including: energy, grid, and storage; advanced networks; climate resilient solutions; smart mobility; rare earth innovations; and resilient infrastructure:
The Summit, co-located with the SBIR/STTR Fall Innovation Conference, Operational Energy and Logistics Summit, Resilience Week, Smart Cities Connect Conference, and more, boasts an audience rich with prospective buyers and deal-makers.
Finalists receive, in addition to the chance at funding, membership and engagement opportunities with all three partner consortia. RISE Consortium offers its affiliates access to greater opportunity to work with the Federal government, faster contracting speed, and market expansion into the Department of Defense. National Spectrum Consortium positions its members to collaborate with senior government officials to shape requirements for electromagnetic spectrum sharing, conduct research and development, and provide technical input to policy, regulation, and more.
