About DEF

The mission of the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum is to inspire, connect and empower people by convening events, forging partnerships and delivering tangible solutions. We do this in order to promote a culture of innovation in the U.S. national security community.

If you have an interest in national security, regardless of whether you work in government, veteran, academia, a startup, policy or industry, you may also be a virtuous insurgent.
