Here's a little-know fact:

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:07.040 align:middle line:90%
Some Department of the Air Force technology didn't even originate inside the Air Force.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.000 align:middle line:90%
Which makes sense... I mean...

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.000 align:middle line:90%
YOU might have a valuable idea you'd like to share with the Air Force, or the Space Force.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.500 align:middle line:90%
But how do you CONNECT with them?

00:00:15.500 --> 00:00:21.040 align:middle line:90%
From the outside, partnering with the Air Force can seem pretty daunting.

00:00:21.040 --> 00:00:22.040 align:middle line:90%
Sure, you've seen OTHER people do it...

00:00:22.040 --> 00:00:25.000 align:middle line:90%
But where did they START?

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000 align:middle line:90%
Well the TRUTH is... it hasn't always been obvious how to connect with us.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.500 align:middle line:90%
But we're ALWAYS LOOKING for great new science and tech ideas.

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:36.750 align:middle line:90%
That's why we created the Air Force Science & Technology Front Door Service to Connect:

00:00:36.750 --> 00:00:39.000 align:middle line:90%
...a dedicated service to connect potential partners

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:40.000 align:middle line:90%
--or ANYONE with a great idea--

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.000 align:middle line:90%
DIRECTLY to our Air Force & Space Force experts and opportunites.

00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.000 align:middle line:90%
Here's how it works:

00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.000 align:middle line:90%
Meet us face-to-face at one of our outreach events,

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.500 align:middle line:90%
Or just visit our website and share your idea online.

00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:54.500 align:middle line:90%
Once your idea's in our system:

00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:59.500 align:middle line:90%
our super-smart alogorithm identifies all the KEY PARTS of your idea...

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.000 align:middle line:90%
SEARCHES our science & technology databases...

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.500 align:middle line:90%
and MATCHES you with any current opportunities or experts

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:09.250 align:middle line:90%
that can take your idea to the next phase of development.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.500 align:middle line:90%
And we don't just put you in a queue, and randomly connect you to whoever's available:

00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:18.500 align:middle line:90%
Our "intelligent connector" matches your submission with the perfect person.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.500 align:middle line:90%
And even if we can't use your idea right away,

00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:25.500 align:middle line:90%
we'll keep matching it to FUTURE opportunites, and keep you in the loop.

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.400 align:middle line:90%
So give us your best ideas. We're all ears.

00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.000 align:middle line:90%
Because it's our duty to supply the Air Force & Space Force

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.000 align:middle line:90%
with the best science & technology--no matter where it comes from.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.000 align:middle line:90%
