The Defence Council provides a platform for CVCs in the defense or dual use sectors to connect and explore innovation and investment opportunities, with the intent of finding solutions to a wide range of national security issues facing our world today.
The council executes plans for a variety of programming for its quarterly gatherings, which take place globally. Topics of discussion take place within a closed-door setting to allow meaningful discussions about technical, business, and policy trends relevant to the companies supporting the startup, CVC, and defense industrial base communities.
