The homeland security market is significant not only to the country but also to the Battle Creek community. Studies indicate that the global market for homeland security is over 1 trillion dollars and has several sectors. With local support in Aviation and Food Manufacturing, Battle Creek Unlimited can focus significant attention to these sectors, though our experience has been with applications as varied as Information Technology and Department of Defense Innovations.
Our relationship with the armed forces gives us a unique perspective on emerging technologies in the Homeland Security industry. New technologies are often found to be under development in one of the Federal Laboratories and being able to connect local principal investigators with Federal level investigators increases the rate of commercialization.
Locally we talk with the Army and Air National Guard, Regional Training and Response units as well as local homeland security officials to ensure that we are up to date on the latest needs for innovative technologies.
