AFWERX
The innovation arm of the U.S. Air Force that connects commercial innovators with Air Force and Space Force needs through programs such as SBIR/STTR and challenges.
What is AFWERX?
AFWERX is one of the most visible entry points for startups pursuing Air Force innovation opportunities. It uses open topics, specific topics, challenges, and partnerships to bring commercial technology into military problem areas.
The best AFWERX opportunities are not generic funding sources. They require a clear connection to Air Force or Space Force stakeholders, a credible transition customer, and evidence that the technology can solve an operational problem.
