Innovation
One of NoVa Node’s primary strategies is to support Virginia’s cybersecurity innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
We embrace a holistic approach, serving as a conduit to resources to encourage commercialization and development of cyber discoveries.
CCI NoVa Node supports this ecosystem with programs that both directly and indirectly bolster innovation and entrepreneurship by:
- Providing startups and early-stage companies with personnel resources through workforce development programs.
- Connecting companies with subject matter experts from academia to solve their most pressing problems.
One of NoVa Node's hallmark programs is the CATAPULT Fund and CCI+A incubator and accelerator, run in partnership with CCI Hub. We are currently accepting applications for the 2024 cohort. Learn more about this program.
