Hackathons – Delivering Relevant Tech to the Warfighter Ahead of Requirements
Description
Nick Sinai, former U.S. Deputy CTO and venture capital investor, is a leading authority on federal innovation policy and defense start-ups.
We spoke to Nick about how hackathons are being used by DOD to address real operational problems outside the formal requirements process.
Nick explains that these events build networks of talent, expose participants to new tools and datasets, and foster ideas that can sometimes even mature into field-ready solutions. Hackathons give both industry and government a rapid, low-risk way to experiment and learn what the warfighter actually needs.
