Catalyst Campus, Capital Region

Catalyst Campus for Technology and Innovation is an economic development cluster strategy for the aerospace and defense sector. With three locations across the country (Colorado Springs, Ogden and the Capital Region), Catalyst Campus is at the heart of innovation and technology transfer directly to the warfighter. Catalyst Campus is designed as a collaborative ecosystem where industry, small business, workforce training, entrepreneurs, start-ups and venture capital intersect with the diverse resources of the DoD to create community, spark innovation and stimulate business growth. The main partner in the Capital Region, is the Forge, a PEO IWS Prototype Software Factory. It provides a virtual and physical ecosystem to foster Agile software development using DevSecOps tools and principles. The purpose of the Forge is to increase the speed at which PEO IWS is able to deliver warfighting capability to the Fleet, while also driving affordability in its programs.
