An inside look at why 2026 represents a pivotal moment for securing advantage in emerging technologies, from quantum to AI, as innovation shifts from government-funded research to real-world deployment. As these capabilities advance, the priority is no longer just discovery, but how they are secured, scaled, and commercialized into operational systems. This session brings together leaders from DARPA, Bluepeak AI, Qunnect, The Quantum Insider, and the investment community to explore how breakthrough ideas transition from government-backed R&D to venture-scale impact. Panelists will examine the critical gap between prototype and product, unpacking what works and what fails when moving technologies into deployment without compromising security, trust, or resilience.
