SUMMARY:National Veterans Small Business Week
DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) celebrates\, connects\, and empowers service member (including National Guard and Reserve)\, veteran\, and military spouse entrepreneurs and business owners – past\, present\, and future – during National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW). \nNVSBW 2022 will take place on October 31-November 4. This year\, we will focus on celebrating the strength and resilience of the veteran and military small business community as they continue to march beyond the events of the pandemic and use what they’ve learned over the past few years to propel their businesses forward. The SBA and its partners will work to connect these small business owners to resources that will help them start\, grow\, or expand their businesses. \nsba.gov/nvsbw

SUMMARY:DEFTECH Coffee Call
DESCRIPTION:Topic:  US SPACE: Geospatial\, Sensor Data\, Weather\, AI/ML \nGuest Speaker: Dr. Patel is currently a Program Manager and Scientist supporting the Space and Artificial Intelligence Portfolios with the Defense Innovation Unit (Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering) in Mountain View\, California. Dr. Patel works primarily in geospatial data science\, leading efforts in adopting commercially-sourced satellite remotely sensed data (imagery and weather) and computer vision algorithms to support international and domestic needs like disaster response & climate change\, as well as national security needs such as detecting anomalous and nefarious activities abroad. Specifically\, Dr. Patel managed the program to build the first U.S. commercial synthetic aperture radar smallsats; capable of more frequent\, all-weather imaging of the earth at significantly reduced cost. Dr. Patel also led up partnerships with NASA and the United States Geological Survey. For example\, Dr. Patel led collaboration with multiple U.S. government and international agencies to create the “xView” series of international challenges to enlist the global community of machine learning experts towards tackling one of the Department of Defense’s hardest problems; detecting key objects in context in overhead imagery. xView has enabled thousands of developers to apply computer vision algorithms to things like identify property damage caused by natural disasters\, as well as illegal\, unreported and unregulated fishing through automated dark vessel detection. Dr. Patel is also an Air Force veteran (Nov 2015 – Nov 2021) who has twice deployed overseas to provide combat search and rescue support (against ISIS (2018) and al-Shabab (2021)) and domestic contingency support (for COVID-19 and California fires in 2020) in the defense of the United States. Recently\, Dr. Patel has taken a part-time role as faculty in developing coursework at the University of Florida\, specifically for teaching students on how to use computer vision techniques for geospatial applications\, and an upcoming course on using quantum computing for geospatial applications. \nVirtual Connection Instructions: \nDEFTECH Coffee Call 2022 \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app \nClick here to join the meeting \nOr call in (audio only) \n+1 980-296-2533\,\,257223277# United States\, Charlotte \nPhone Conference ID: 257 223 277# \nCoffee Call 2022 Link / URL \nhttps://tinyurl.com/y553vjcr \nWebsite: https://tinyurl.com/y553vjcr \nQuestions or assistance\, contact:\nNorth Carolina Defense Technology Transition Office (DEFTECH)
