DARPA hosts Industry Days to promote teaming arrangements between researchers; provide potential performers with information on whether and how they might respond to the Government's research and development solicitations; and to increase efficiency in proposal preparation and evaluation. Therefore, Industry Days are open only to registered potential proposers. To maximize the pool of innovative proposal concepts, DARPA strongly encourages participation in these events and subsequent solicitations by non-traditional performers, including small businesses, academic and research institutions, and first-time Government contractors.
A list of registrants' contact information will be made available to attendees following the Industry Day to facilitate interchange among interested proposers. If you would NOT like your contact information included in this list, please notify us when registering.
During the Industry Day, each organization (not each attendee) will have the opportunity to introduce itself as part of an all around-the-room introduction (thirty seconds or less per organization).
Attendance at the is voluntary and is not required to propose to a subsequent BAA (if any) on this topic. The Industry Day does on constitute a formal solicitation for proposals or abstracts. This announcement is issued solely for information and program planning purposes and is not a Request for Information (RFI). Since this is not an RFI, no submissions against this notice will be accepted by the Government. DARPA will not provide reimbursement for costs incurred to participate in this Industry Day.
