Innovation does not happen in a vacuum. We collaborate with higher education to build upon each other’s discoveries to accelerate our innovations.

After effective technology and concept engagement through AFVentures and Spark, Prime works to rapidly drive affordable capability to the field. Additionally, successful fielding is essential to build trust in this AFWERX approach among Airmen as well as industry, investors, interagency, and international stakeholders.

AFWERX is a network of people who want to help create a better Air Force for all Airmen. There are innovators who work for AFWERX full-time, others who take on passion projects outside of their traditional jobs and tap into the AFWERX ecosystem for support, and plenty more who collaborate with us as part of their position at Air Force bases around the world.

Airmen are encouraged to locate a SBIR Phase I company that could potentially help solve a problem at their unit, sign a memorandum of agreement to work with them using the SBIR program’s funding, and search for SBIR Phase III company products and services that can be purchased sole-source via nearly any color of money. Login is required to view topic details.
