The Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is hosting the Game Changing Technology Industry Day to engage the aerospace industry and identify potential areas of common interest and synergy with NASA. The objective of the meeting is to enhance industry awareness and understanding of the mid-level technology investments within the Game Changing Development portfolio.
The Game Changing Technology Industry Day will focus on 11 current technologies that are potential targets for commercial and academic partnerships. Attendees will hear from project managers about the exciting work going going on within STMD and have the opportunity to see hardware and ask questions in person.
By joining this Industry Day, participants will have the unique opportunity to listen and engage with NASA technologists who seek partnerships that can further innovation in space exploration.
