In 2024, SVDG deepened its role as a critical catalyst for the Emerging Technology Readiness (ETR) ecosystem—focusing on people, connections, and tools to drive national security innovation.

Through strategic convenings, flagship publications, and collaborative programs, we helped bridge government and industry, expanded our cross-sector network, and provided trusted insights into the evolving defense innovation landscape. This year, we welcomed new partners, elevated fresh voices, and built new platforms to accelerate progress across the community.

From the release of our second NatSec100 report to the launch of the Industry Collaboration Toolkit—from the landmark 2024 Chairman’s Dinner at RNDF to our widely attended policy salons and webinars—SVDG marked another year of growth, leadership, and impact.

We’re deeply grateful to our members, partners, and champions across the ecosystem. Your energy, ideas, and commitment fuel this mission. With your continued engagement, we’re ready to make 2025 even more ambitious.

Let’s keep building.
