GovTechNext: Bridging Innovation to Mission, an Emerging Tech Demo Day

Monday, November 10, 2025

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET

Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center
11493 Sunset Hills Rd Suite 100, Reston VA, 20190

DESCRIPTION:

Step into a groundbreaking venue where emerging technologies are organized by the challenges they solve for government missions, not by their technical specifications. GovTechNext brings together startups on the cutting edge and established leaders with proven solutions, all aligned by Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) to meet you wherever you are in your mission lifecycle.

Explore targeted solutions through lightning talks, dive deep with insights from our Lightning Round speakers, and connect with peers and innovators. This is your opportunity to find the tools and partners you need to tackle your mission’s exact challenges, from operations to logistics and beyond.

Groupings of Use Case Categories

AI-Enabled Software Modernization

Challenge: How might we apply AI—especially agentic systems capable of autonomous planning and adaptation—to accelerate software modernization across legacy government systems? This includes automating code refactoring, vulnerability patching, and secure deployment pipelines within AI-native DevSecOps workflows to reduce technical debt and improve system agility and resilience.

Modernizing Government Workflows for Operational Efficiency

Challenge: How might we reduce manual workload in processes like ATOs, compliance, and records management using technologies such as AI-driven tools, that streamline approvals while ensuring auditability and adherence to policy?

Data-Driven Decision Support at Government Scale

Challenge: How might we build platforms—leveraging agentic AI—to synthesize vast, dynamic datasets into timely, actionable insights that enhance decision-making in areas like national security, logistics, and public health? To ensure consistency, transparency, and operational reuse, these systems must also support a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to capture model provenance, assumptions, and decision boundaries.

Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Threat Intelligence

Challenge: How might we deploy technologies, to include AI, to detect, predict, and mitigate threats to critical infrastructure and supply chains—including cyber-physical systems and global logistics networks—while adapting to evolving adversary tactics and attack surfaces?
