This week we talked about #nationalairborneday and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency or DARPA (https://www.darpa.mil). In addition, we discussed the upcoming DARPA Webinar on 24 August hosted by NC DEFTECH.
The DARPA webinar will not be as in-depth as the 2021 DARPA roadshow that is mobilized. Still, it will allow the North Carolina Innovation ecosystem to hear the latest out of this government organization and network with the DARPA team.
We discussed the Voices of DARPA Podcast (https://www.darpa.mil/about-us/podcast) and the educational videos available on their website (https://www.youtube.com/darpatv).
This podcast was an overview of how to find the DARPA information and will be covered more in-depth on Mobilize and the Coffee Call on Friday, 19 August 2022.
