CODICE

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 #𝟮: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Following up on our pre-summit update in May, CODICE was on the ground in Washington, D.C. on June 4th. Our biggest takeaway? The future belongs to those who can seamlessly connect innovation, infrastructure, talent, and ex*****on.

The conversations made one thing abundantly clear: "Building America" is no longer just about brick-and-mortar infrastructure. It’s about building the invisible, intelligent systems that will define the next generation of global competitiveness:

🤖 AI Infrastructure & Robotics
🛡️ Defense Modernization & Advanced Manufacturing
💡 Public-Sector Tech Talent & Workforce Readiness
🚀 Space Technology & Health Innovation
🤝 Public-Private Partnerships at Federal, State, and City levels

America’s future will not be built by spectators. It will be built by organizations willing to think boldly, partner deeply, and execute with purpose. We were incredibly energized by the shared commitment to collaboration across government, industry, academia, and technology.

Thank you to The Washington Post for convening such a vital conversation at a critical moment, and to the outstanding speakers for sharing their insights:
