Silicon Valley Defense Group and STATION DC Announce Partnership to Advance Defense Innovation in the Nation’s Capital

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Silicon Valley Defense Group (SVDG) and STATION DC are proud to announce a partnership aimed at accelerating national‑security innovation by connecting leading technologists, investors, and policymakers in the nation’s capital.

Bringing together SVDG’s and STATION DC’s dynamic networks of national-security innovation, capital, and policy, this partnership unites two mission‑driven organizations dedicated to catalyzing next‑generation technology and talent. Together, SVDG and STATION DC will help initiate a new hub for technology, innovation, global competitiveness, and collaboration just steps from Capitol Hill.

While each organization continues to pursue its own mission, the partnership will amplify shared goals through co‑hosted programs that leverage STATION DC’s flexible event space and both organizations' convening power. These sessions will serve as launchpads for new ventures, tighter public‑private connectivity, and actionable insights at the intersection of policy and technology.

Launch Event: Uniting the DMV Mini-Summit – June 12, 2025

To kick off this partnership, both SVDG and STATION DC are co-hosting the Uniting the DMV Mini-Summit, along with Arlington Economic Development, on June 12, 2025. The half‑day program will highlight the region’s leadership in advanced computing, cybersecurity, infrastructure resilience, and defense. Registration is now open to qualified participants.
