Defense: Innovate and Integrate (DI2) Summit – November 5, 2026

Oakland County and the Detroit Regional Defense Coalition are bringing the federal innovation ecosystem to Troy for the Defense: Innovate and Integrate (DI2) Summit on November 5 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The summit will connect Michigan companies directly with the DefenseWERX innovation ecosystem and other federal pathways designed to move promising technologies from idea to testing, funding and adoption.

The day will spotlight opportunities in advanced manufacturing, autonomy, robotics, mobility, aerospace and dual-use technologies, with companies gaining a clearer path into federal innovation programs — and direct access to the people helping shape them.

Who should attend? Companies seeking to break into defense or expand their federal business, DI2 is built to make those connections real.

Registration is open, and sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities are available.
