GSA ITC Edu Series: GSA/FAS/ITC and DIU Partnership

Learn about the benefits of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and the General Services Administration (GSA) partnership. We’ll highlight DIU efforts to support Department of Defense operations through their quick prototyping process, and the positive impacts of partnering with GSA to get products & solutions to more federal, state, local, and territorial organizations as efficiently and effectively as possible. We’ll also explore the focus areas within DIU that closely align with products/solutions that GSA already provides to the marketplace. This allows the collaboration between the two organizations to more efficiently support the warfighter, as well as civilian agencies while using “dual use” technologies.

This is a one (1) CLP credit course.
