The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) has initiated a university accelerator program seeking to nurture early-stage startups focusing on dual-use technologies for both military and civilian applications. This innovative initiative is designed to provide startups with funding, mentorship, and valuable connections within the Department of Defense, all aiming to develop technology that addresses pressing national security needs. With a total funding pool of $500,000, the accelerator emerges as a response to a growing trend among students—especially at renowned institutions—who are increasingly interested in careers within the defense tech sector.
