Join the National Security, Intelligence, and Defense Club at UVA (NSID) for a panel on the new era of strategic competition, featuring speakers from UVA’s National Security Data and Policy Institute (NSDPI), Merlin Labs, and a16z.

As global threats evolve and the tools to counter them shift rapidly, this panel brings together people working at different points of the national security landscape: the intelligence and policy side, the venture capital side, and the autonomous systems side. Together they’ll dig into how the U.S. maintains its edge, where capital is flowing, and whether emerging technology can actually hold up in the environments that matter most.
