Project Objective

WERXMASH is an opportunity for DEFENSEWERX government partners to 1) share Technology Focus Areas (TFAs) in High Performance Computing and 2) identify opportunities for DEFENSEWERX government partners and innovation hubs to work collaboratively to find solutions and share ideas.

The WERXMASH model includes a series of steps that support intergovernmental collaboration and results in: 

  • Strategy – prioritize shared needs, establish goals, identify implementation resources 
  • Market – conduct “tech challenges” that identify applicable solutions from industry and academia
  • Convening – host an event for down-selected offerors and government reps to network and facilitate pitch sessions and demonstrations
  • Pilot – Undertake pilot implementation of solution(s) of interest and inform specifications for broader adoption of successful pilots
