NSIN marked its 6th anniversary on Friday and to commemorate the occasion, we launched a Defense Innovation Funding Opportunities series on LinkedIn to provide even greater resources to innovators in national security. During the last six years, NSIN has built a national network with over 100 universities, more than 900 DoD mission partners, and thousands of students and entrepreneurs new to working with the DoD. In FY22 alone, NSIN introduced 142 new ventures to the National Security Innovation Base— and you could be next. |
