HSWERX (Homeland Security Innovation Hub)

Our #mission at HSWERX is to enable the #rapid discovery, engagement, and acceleration of #innovative solutions for the #safety and #security of the #homeland. HSWERX, a #DEFENSEWERX Hub, is a non-profit organization that works through a Title 15 USC 3715 Partnership Intermediary Agreement (#PIA) with the Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) Science & Technology Directorate (S&T) Technology Transfer & Commercialization (#T2C) branch. Join us today and play a part in securing the homeland: https://lnkd.in/ezUx9U_y

Over the past 20 years, the #DHS Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program has invested $415 million in 528 small businesses and supported 265 mission challenges (through individual topics) with 38 solicitations. Responsible for administering the program, S&T’s objective is to deliver the greatest value to the mission while helping to cultivate partnerships with small businesses. With a commitment to and focus on commercialization and ease of use, we leverage and cross-pollinate solutions. Here’s our model of engagement and how you can get involved: https://lnkd.in/er9Dd7xg

Our director, Craig J. Zamary, is looking forward to participating in this webinar with Florida APEX Accelerator. Be sure to join at 3PM ET to learn more about #DEFENSEWERX Hubs!

Over 150 attendees joined the #DEFENSEWERX “The Power of the PIA: From Ideas to Impact” Panel at #DefenseTechConnect this morning. Craig J. Zamary and Benjamin Henry, key contributors to our mission, participated in this dynamic panel alongside Stephen Elliott, Robert Ross, PhD, and Keri Cline. Together, they demonstrated how Partnership Intermediary Agreements (#PIAs) cut through red tape to #accelerate #innovation. The panelists explored how PIAs #streamline collaboration, remove barriers, and fast-track #groundbreaking solutions for national #security. Whether you’re a startup, researcher, or government partner, PIAs can help bring your ideas to life—faster and with greater impact.
