Description

The Defense Innovation Voucher program (DIV), presented by Booz Allen Hamilton is a comprehensive business initiative, designed to build resiliency in small to medium sized San Diego-based defense companies. Fifteen diverse companies were chosen to participate in the 2018-19 program, each receiving an initial $15,000 grant.

On Thursday May 23, five of the 15 defense companies - EpiSci (EpiSys Science, Inc.), Fuse Integration, Inc., GET Engineering Corporation, Planck Aerosystems, and Trabus Technologies will compete for an additional $25,000 in funding to help them continue to grow their business.

The catch? These companies will be looking to YOU, the attendee, to vote on who deserves the extra cash based on their public pitch.

In addition to a public pitch there will be opening remarks provided by Booz Allen Hamilton, EDC, the City of San Diego and other key program sponsors.
