Hosted by our friends at Mission Innovation X, this stop in the CSAIL Alliances Startup Success Journey focuses on dual-use and what that means for technology.

(Not sure what we're talking about? Learn about the Start Up Success Journey and MIT IAP).

The Dual-use Ventures IAP course is a learning opportunity for students, technology builders, companies, and member of the broader community looking to understand:

• Why dual-use technology is important for innovation in the U.S. and among its allies.
• How to build, grow, and scale dual-use ventures domestically and globally among like-minded, open societies.
• The key challenges ventures face when developing technology that serves both government and commercial customers and how to navigate these challenges.

We’ll discuss frameworks, funding opportunities, entrepreneur roadmaps, and government resources.

Participants will co-author a whitepaper synthesizing learnings from the course.
