PALO ALTO, Calif. The efforts of university students involved in the Hacking for Defense (H4D) program will continue this summer with the help of the H4XLabs enterprise accelerator; students involved in H4D work on solving national security-problems related to challenges such as unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous space operations, and efficient use of satellites.
Eight H4D teams from five universities were chosen to receive post-course support, according to an announcement by Ellen Chang, H4XLabs director: Teams from Stanford University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, University of Southern Mississippi, and Rochester Institute of Technology will work to further validate their solutions, find product-market fit, land funding, and turn their H4D team into an investable company that can be a part of the national security ecosystem.
The teams will participate in a demo day in mid-August.
