New Joint Program Backs Founders Building Defense And Commercial Technologies
The University of California San Diego has launched a new joint incubator with Bow Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm, to support founders developing dual-use technologies with national security and commercial applications. The incubator provides $100,000 in upfront funding and a three-month, full-time program to six selected companies, which are working on technologies ranging from medical devices to autonomous systems. The program aims to bridge the gap between research and commercialization, connecting breakthrough science with both commercial markets and national security needs, as reported by Unknown Source.
