SUMMARY:FOCI 101 Briefing Overview for Government Contractors WEBINAR
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is a fast\, founder- and investor-oriented introduction to how strategic competition\, foreign influence\, and U.S. government scrutiny increasingly intersect with advanced technology development. \nThe session places Foreign Ownership\, Control\, or Influence (FOCI) in its operational context: how states pursue access\, how influence is exercised indirectly\, and how early signals shape outcomes long before any formal review or enforcement action occurs. \nTopics include: \n-How foreign state and state-aligned actors engage U.S. innovators today\, including current collection trends\, indirect access strategies\, and soft-power engagement across research\, startup\, investment\, and scaling environments. This includes the periods where vulnerabilities spike. \n-How FOCI is interpreted across the U.S. government\, where thresholds differ between agencies (DoD\, DOE\, NIH\, NSF\, etc.)\, and how those interpretations continue to evolve. \n-What actually draws attention in practice\, funding structures\, partnerships\, personnel\, data access\, and commercial behavior\, often years before companies realize they are being evaluated. \n-Practical mitigation options teams can consider if and when FOCI-related issues arise. \nThe discussion draws on real-world patterns from intelligence collection\, influence operations\, and technology competition. It’s designed to sharpen judgment\, challenge assumptions\, and help teams understand the terrain they’re operating in\, so innovation can proceed faster and with fewer strategic surprises. \nFunded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration. \nPRESENTER: Cyrus Miryekta\, CEO\, Ravelin US LLC \nDATE: April 16\, 2026 \nTIME: 1-2PM Eastern WEBINAR \nCOST: Virginia Based Co’s & Virginia University FREE; All Others $20

SUMMARY:Building Strategic Partners for DOD & NASA SBIR/STTR Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Building strategic partners for DOD and NASA SBIR/STTR projects is important – it shows that you have identified and addressed gaps in your team and presents a credible pathway to transitioning the technology to the agency\, often through a prime contractor. But while this is extremely important\, and can often be a key differentiator for your proposal\, it is not always an easy task to locate and engage a strategic partner\, integrate them into your project plan and explain how this alliance benefits the end user. This session will provide tips on how to acquire a strategic partner\, and discuss how to allocate tasks and budget to your partners.\nFunded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration\nPresented by TechOpp Consulting\nCOST: Virginia based companies/Va.
