Connecting Manufacturers with Navy Innovations
The DVIRC is facilitating transformative technology transfers between the U.S. Navy and the manufacturing industry in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
In collaboration with Liberty Tech Bridge, DVIRC is pioneering an initiative that promises to revolutionize both naval capabilities and the regional manufacturing landscape through direct access to the Navy’s portfolio of innovative patents.
The goal? To empower and connect regional manufacturers to turn these patents into products, enhancing the Navy’s operational capabilities while simultaneously bolstering the manufacturing sector in the region.
This initiative not only opens the door for local manufacturers to explore and commercialize cutting-edge technology but also aims to elevate the area’s manufacturing industry to new heights by integrating advanced naval technologies into their production lines.
