Practice · Government & Ecosystem
Programs that prepare allied companies for the U.S. market.
Advancing for Space works with allied governments, economic-development organizations and prime contractors to prepare specialized suppliers and move their technology into the U.S. market.
Through the Global Allied Ecosystem Bridge, the practice connects manufacturers and technology companies in allied, non-red supply-chain countries with U.S. government and enterprise demand.
How can allied governments help their companies enter the U.S. defense market?
Allied governments and economic-development bodies help their companies enter the U.S. defense market by choosing companies that match a stated U.S. need, preparing them for U.S. compliance and procurement before they travel, and introducing them to U.S. buyers, primes and events through a structured program rather than one-off trade missions.

Measure outcomes
