Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP) Overview and Documents

AEP OVERVIEW:

The Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP) enables government analysts and private sector partners to gain a greater understanding of how their disparate, yet complementary, roles can work in tandem to ensure mission success.  Participants work to create joint unclassified analytic deliverables of interest to both the private sector and government entities.

More information can be found in the documents linked below or by emailing AEP@hq.dhs.gov.

Join us for the 2025 AEP Fall Virtual Information Sessions: 

We invite you to attend the upcoming 2025 AEP Fall Virtual Info Sessions. The info sessions will include a detailed overview about the AEP, importance of the program, relationships built between the public and private sector, and how to apply. You will hear former AEP participants share their experience. We encourage everyone to come with questions for discussion, as the AEP staff looks forward to socializing the program with you.

The AEP staff will host eight separate info sessions. Each session will provide the same information; so, it is only necessary to participate in one of these sessions.
