Crane IP Defense Innovation Pitch Competition

This summer’s second-annual pitch competition provides the opportunity to win a cash prize for your innovative proposal to commercialize patented technologies and concepts developed at NSWC Crane–Indiana’s only federal research laboratory.

The intellectual property is being offered royalty-free at this time, in the hopes of spurring commercialization and business activity. Check out the available technologies here.

Virtual coaching sessions given by NSWC Crane’s Technology Transfer program are available for participants ahead of the competition on April 29 and May 11. The sessions will provide an overview of available technologies and highlight opportunities for engaging with Crane, and include an introduction to Crane’s IP portfolio. NSWC Crane’s Technology Transfer Office is available to meet with participants individually to assist with technology exploration and identifying patented technologies and concepts that meet their needs. Please contact cran_t2@navy.mil to learn more.

Participants can also receive individual coaching sessions through the resources of Elevate Ventures and ISBDC.
