The Technology Advancement Center (TAC) is a nonprofit organization that is tackling defense and national security challenges by engaging academia, developing the workforce, and bringing in the next commercial technical capability or process. Gregg Smith, the CEO of TAC, discussed how the organization fits into some of the Defense Department's newest strategies such as those around artificial intelligence and zero trust. He also discussed his goals for TAC as it works with smaller organizations to teach them how to do business with the government and bring new solutions into agencies like the U.S. Cyber Command, National Security Agency, DISA and more.
