Get an Inside Look at Current GovCon Initiatives Tackling Global Challenges

Today’s shifting geopolitical environment and renewed focus on international collaboration has expanded the reach of GovCon initiatives. The 2022 National Defense Strategy lists “anchoring our strategy in allies and partners and advancing regional goals” as a top priority, and since then, the Department of Defense has highlighted allies in multiple other strategies. Some areas that may be covered at the GovCon International Summit include:

• Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control, or CJADC2, a major DOD initiative intended to establish seamless connectivity between DOD components, allies and partners
• The National Defense Industrial Strategy, which aims to fold international partners into defense supply chains

Civilian agencies are also working with partners, particularly in the technology space. Here are some recent developments in these collaborative efforts:

• The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency worked with counterparts in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the U.K. to develop guidance on secure by design considerations to help organizations make decisions when buying digital products and services.
• Cyber agencies from the aforementioned nations published a joint guide for software developers and manufacturers to design their own standards to defend their products from memory safety vulnerabilities.

Learn From Experts in the International GovCon Space

Tackling global problems requires knowledgeable leaders willing to rise to these challenges. The GovCon International Summit will bring together government and industry executives who specialize in a range of issues in which global collaboration is a priority.
