This webinar will provide an overview of the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) Information Directorate’s planned development of the new Open Innovation Campus (OIC) initiative, now known as the AFRL Innovare Advancement Center. The groundbreaking OIC concept will establish a collaborative environment to support the investigation of cutting edge technologies to identify and develop potential solutions for difficult technical challenge problems. This novel infrastructure and business construct will foster the growth of a Quantum Information Science and Artificial Intelligence hub. The Center will provide an ecosystem where the top researchers, scientists and engineers from government, industry and academia can collaborate on developing future transformational strategic capabilities for the Nation’s defense. The OIC will be an “outside the fence” facility that will open potential relationships with non-traditional as well as international partners.
