Program Overview

The Air Force Labs Accelerator, run by MassChallenge in partnership with the Hanscom Air Force Base Innovation Team, is designed to help small businesses accelerate their path to working with the U.S. Air Force. This program identifies and supports dual-use small businesses—those developing technology with both commercial and defense applications—that have potential use cases for Program Executive Offices (PEOs) and other Air Force stakeholders. Our goal is to bridge the gap between innovative commercial solutions and critical defense needs by providing small businesses with the knowledge, mentorship, and connections needed to navigate the complexities of working with the Department of Defense (DoD). We are uniquely positioned to support small businesses that are interested in building relationships with the specific PEOs at Hanscom Air Force Base sponsoring this program. Learn More
