DTIP is a private entity that was established to scout globally for innovative, revolutionary technologies that have direct or indirect military application for the United States of America. The DTIP was established as a public-private partnership program with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense. We work with the US Department of Defense in promoting the advancement of US national security and defense acquisition strategies.

Since 2017, the DTIP has presented dozens of technologies from around the world to senior decision makers in the pentagon, DHS, the White House, the Intelligence Community and strategic U.S. allies. The DTIP has worked with more than 95 Defense Department and Intelligence community programs, and the number is growing.
