Transfer Technology

We facilitate technology transfer to the private sector and facilitate the use of government labs to increase the likelihood of success in conducting joint activities with small businesses and universities to make use of technology related assistance from a government lab. We enable spin out of federally developed technologies or spin in of solutions from industry and academia to government problems.

Solve Hard Problems

By facilitating the innovation of better training for our warfighters through modeling and simulation to improve human performance. We facilitate these innovations through prize challenges, tech scans, game jams, and other initiatives.

Share your Capabilities

Do you have an innovative idea or capability that could be a solution for challenges facing our national defense partners? Getting novel, non-traditional, human performance solutions in front of potential users, customers and collaborators can be a long and arduous process. Until now. Tell us about your innovation so we can tell others.

White Team Orlando Logo

Tech Grove and the National Security Innovation Network have created a Team Orlando platform to allow you to respond to specific problem statements as well as submit information about your products, services, and capabilities.

Join the TOPS community today, check out the problems in our Problem Grove, submit your capabilities, and engage with us!

Introducing Our New Logo

When Central Florida Tech Grove was established in June of 2020, we also developed a logo. That logo was designed to align with the Team Orlando logo since our founding members are the four services that anchor Team Orlando (Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps). We recently realized the need for a new logo that would be easier to read in various media formats. You will still see our original logo (now our Seal). But more and more you will see our new Logo!
