Secretary Ash Carter is on a mission to solidify the Pentagon’s relationship with Silicon Valley startups in the last year of the Obama administration
BY SEAN LYNGAAS
Defense Secretary Ash Carter was in Silicon Valley in early March to tout the Pentagon’s outreach office and hear pitches from firms seeking further traction for their technologies in an often cumbersome federal acquisition cycle.
It is a push by Carter, a technocrat who has a Ph.D. in physics, to solidify relationships he has worked to build with Silicon Valley technology companies in the final year of the Obama administration.
