The Air Force is initiating a series of forums to
engage with non-traditional innovative tech companies and to understand how
they can work to incorporate this innovation into their “business plan” in the
future. The launch of this series took place in Boston last week and
attending were Governor Baker and the Secretary of the U.S. Air Force. Secretary James chose Massachusetts for the
initial session as a jumping off point for a series of regional forums the Air
Force is holding across the country – all aimed at accessing America’s
intellectual capital.
