The Defense Technology Hubs Act of 2026 aims to enhance national security and maintain the United States' technological superiority by establishing a network of regional hubs focused on advancing defense-related technologies. These hubs are intended to foster innovation, collaboration, and the swift development of new military technologies. The Act creates the Defense Technology Hubs Program, overseen by the Secretary of Defense, who will solicit applications from universities, defense contractors, small businesses, and local governments to become designated hubs.
