The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is partnering with the Missouri Technology Corporation (MTC) and corporate accelerator Capital Innovators to launch a Geospatial Corporate Accelerator program for driving R&D and commercialization of geospatial technologies and applications.
The first of its kind of a partnership between a corporate accelerator and government intelligence agency, the program is expected to start early 2021. Earlier in the year, NGA had signed a Partnership Intermediary Agreement with MTC, with the primary objective of engaging with the greater St. Louis region and beyond to develop innovations in geospatial technology through collaboration and a transfer of technology.
