Silicon Valley Innovation Program
The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP) is keeping pace with the innovation community to tackle the hardest problems faced by DHS and the Homeland Security Enterprise. SVIP expands DHS S&T’s reach to find new technologies that strengthen national security with the goal of reshaping how government, entrepreneurs, and industry work together to find cutting-edge solutions. SVIP accomplishes this by reaching out to innovation communities across the nation and around the world to harness the commercial R&D ecosystem for technologies with government applications, to co-invest in ideas, and accelerate technology transition-to-market.
