GEOINTeraction Colorado: Commercial Services and the DoW
From pitch deck to procurement: What does it take to bring commercial GEOINT capabilities into defense missions?
Join us for a candid panel discussion and audience Q&A with Department of War (DoW) leaders about how commercial innovation moves into government use. Hear directly from the buyer side about the mission needs driving acquisition decisions, the contracting pathways available, and the challenges companies face in building the past performance needed to compete.
This event is part of GEOINTeraction Colorado, an ongoing series hosted by USGIF’s Front Range Area Community (FRAC) of Interest. The series brings together government, industry, and academia for open discussions on the issues shaping GEOINT, while strengthening connections across the region.
