What We Do
With over 50 years of aerospace & defense work, we are leading the effort to grow the ecosystem. That starts with helping innovators like you get over the high hurdles to become a defense contractor.
Our Mission
DEF X aims to have an impact on the future of aerospace and defense, the next generation of cybersecurity and the empowerment and safety of our armed forces. We do this by selecting promising companies that have a strong commercial product that can be adapted to / or is tailor made for the aerospace and defense sectors. Companies selected to participate in DEF X will be “DoD ready” upon program completion and can start finding and bidding on government grants and contracts. We open doors in these tight knit sectors so our companies and partners have more opportunities for success and growth. DEF X believes the best type of funding is customer and contract funding.
“I wish DEF X was around when we launched our company in 2018. It took us a long time to realize how many defense contract opportunities are out there for us and getting started with the process was painstaking.”
