” The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) leads the Department’s SBIR program, which encourages startups with fewer than 500 employees to provide quality research, new processes, products and technologies in support of government missions. During the inaugural showcase, nine small businesses will present their technologies and answer questions.
"From forest fires and natural disasters to emergency response situations, our nation’s first responders face challenging and life-threatening situations every day,” said Paul McDonagh, S&T First Responders Portfolio Manager. “I encourage the First Responder Community to join and learn how the contributions enhance our mission to better prepare, protect and connect first responders."
