Abstract
By utilizing open-source datasets and a multi-method approach to study the factors that economically anchor the innovative activities within a region, I aim to map the defense innovation ecosystem with a focus on observable clusters of activity. The purpose is to provide a 2023 snapshot of key elements of the U.S. defense innovation ecosystem. It is from this perspective that we can influence communities proximate to military bases with low innovation metrics and also leverage brokerage roles to siphon innovation activity from areas with known-high innovation metrics. Potential stakeholders who may find this analysis useful for their work include those seeking entry into the DOD innovation ecosystem and current key players, particularly DOD actors, as well as entrepreneurs, universities, corporations, and risk capital providers.
