At FedTech, we design innovation programs for mission-driven organizations. We accelerate innovation, commercialization, and adoption across the public and private markets. Three capabilities drive everything we do.
Commercialization Strategy
Technology without a defined path to market stays in the lab. FedTech provides the structured validation, market positioning, and execution support to move a breakthrough from discovery to a viable, deployable product.
Federal Market Access
Reaching federal end users requires more than a compelling technology. FedTech connects teams with the right program offices and mission stakeholders, validates demand, and accelerates the path from development to procurement.
Non-Dilutive Funding
Federal funding programs – SBIR/STTR, agency innovation vehicles, and lab partnership agreements – represent significant capital at no equity cost. FedTech guides teams through these pathways to secure the right funding at the right stage.

eiX Venture Studio
The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Exchange (eiX) Venture Studio pairs teams of entrepreneurs with advanced energy technology from universities and federal laboratories, and the support needed to determine whether and how it can become a business. The technologies entering the program are selected for their commercial potential, so participants are not starting from scratch. They are starting with a technology that has been chosen as a credible foundation to build from. Teams that validate a path to market have the opportunity to license the underlying IP and incorporate.

"As someone who was born and raised here—and who has spent a long time working in technology, economic development, and community-building—it’s incredibly exciting to see a program like this taking shape locally. To my knowledge, nothing like this has ever been rolled out in my home county before. It’s great to see the direction things are heading."
