Facilitating Naval Innovation

The Fleet and Force need emerging capabilities with insight from warrior-scholars delivered at speed and scale. We are growing an ecosystem to achieve that.

Advancing Naval Solutions with the FLEETWERX Innovation Hub



FLEETWERX is a 501(c) nonprofit established in 2023 through a Partnership Intermediary Agreement between DEFENSEWERX (DWX) and the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS). FLEETWERX cultivates a dynamic environment designed to create purposeful collisions between innovators through ecosystem building and neutral facilitation. By uniting Government, Industry, and Academia, we bring together people to advance solutions for critical issues facing the operator. Our hub is in Monterey, CA in proximity to NPS and Silicon Valley.

FLEETWERX, a DEFENSEWERX hub, is a non-profit organization working in close collaboration with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and the Naval Fleet and Force.
