At CES, The Government Wants New Tech For Public Health and Safety

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is actively seeking partnerships with tech startups at CES 2020 to bridge the gap between operational constraints and innovation. They have introduced a new program for non-traditional contracts under $800,000 to fast-track partnerships. DHS's role has evolved over the years, with Science and Technology (SMT) underpinning mission operations. State governments are also exploring technology for safety, with initiatives like Panasonic's platform for road safety and smart car technology. The future of these tools depends on effective communication and partnerships.
