ODIA Defense Briefing - Oklahoma's Research Edge: A Fireside Chat on Partnerships and Commercialization
Monday, July 13, 2026 (3:00 PM - 6:30 PM) (CDT)
Description
Oklahoma's research universities are generating technologies, capabilities, and innovations with direct applications for defense and national security, and they are actively looking for industry partners to help bring them to market. But for many companies, knowing how to engage, where to start, and how to navigate the path from discovery to deployment is not always clear.
That is exactly what this conversation is designed to change.
Join the Oklahoma Defense Industry Association for an intimate fireside chat featuring Vice Presidents for Research from Oklahoma's leading research institutions. In a candid, conversational format with time for audience engagement, these research leaders will pull back the curtain on how industry, government, and community partners can effectively engage their institutions, from sponsored research agreements and technology transfer to commercialization pathways and collaborative innovation.
This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from the people who can open the door and learn exactly how to walk through it.
This event is designed for:
- Defense prime contractors and subcontractors seeking university research partnerships
- Small businesses exploring SBIR/STTR alignment and co-development opportunities
- Government and military partners interested in translating research into real-world capability
- Entrepreneurs and innovators looking to commercialize university-developed technology
Don't miss this chance to discover Oklahoma's research advantage and put it to work for your organization.
