NavyFST inputs for Agenda
The Forum for SBIR/STTR Transition is a one-of-a-kind place to experience first-hand the future of the Navy and Marine Corps. Whether you see it in the exhibit spaces, hear it during a Tech Talk, or experience it during a 1-on-1 or networking event you’ll see why we are focused on mobilizing a new generation of government, industry, and academic innovators.
All FST events are located in the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell. UMass Lowell is also offering guided tours of key research facilities on Tuesday afternoon, April 9, before the FST begins and again on Friday morning, April 12, after the FST concludes. FST exhibits are located on the arena floor and on the concourse level around the arena. Tech Talks will take place in Club Rooms at the far end of the concourse level and in the Talon Club Room off the lobby entrance (next to the ticket booths). This year we are excited to have two great Keynote Speakers, a leader in robotics and Artificial Intelligence, a panel of United States Air Force Program Executive Officers from nearby Hanscom Air Force Base, and key leaders from the Naval Sea Systems Command’s Warfare Centers – all keynote addresses and panel sessions will present from the FST Stage, at the opposite end of the arena from where you arrived. Don’t forget to set up a 1-on-1 meeting with one of our 107 participating small business or a Navy Technology Transfer representative in the Align Credit Union Pavilion – sign up here.
