As we approach Apex on April 23-24, 2025, we’re partnering with Defense & Aerospace Report to spotlight critical issues and inspire meaningful discussions, aiming to drive collaborative solutions across the defense ecosystem.
In this episode, part of our countdown to Apex, Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian speaks with both Dan Fata—former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Europe and NATO under the Bush administration—and Miles Taylor, former Chief of Staff at the Department of Homeland Security and current advisor with the Washington Office technology consultancy firm. Key topics discussed include the launch of the Capital Factory’s new DC chapter, Station DC. Positioned as the hub of Washington’s tech ecosystem, Station DC seeks to unite the full tech community, from small startups to established defense contractors.
Fata and Taylor also explore Station DC’s role in fostering collaboration among industry, the Pentagon, and lawmakers, addressing the bottlenecks that innovative firms encounter, and much more.
