DSU Holding Second Ever NatSecTech Event this Upcoming Weekend

Later this week the Dakota State University in Madison, SD will be hosting the second-ever NatSecTech event. This event is a workshop that will examine the techno-economic competition between the global powers of the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China, and how this transforms our future society, economy, and defense.

The workshop will take place this weekend on Friday March 24th and Saturday March 25th, and will be led by the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), a non-partisan, non-profit, three-year initiative, launched by Dr. Eric Schmidt and led by CEO Ylli Bajraktari. 

SCSP is visiting universities around the country to elevate student awareness of the techno-economic competition, and engage local industry and political leaders. SCSP’s NatSecTech programs introduce the key challenges and opportunities in the race to lead across a diverse number of rapidly evolving emerging technologies.

There will be thirty DSU students and faculty from different disciplines that attend the workshop. The students will be able to engage with top national security experts, including Professor Stephen Rosen of Harvard University and Dr. PJ Maykish of SCSP. 

The SCSP representatives will also meet with area business leaders and politicians at a breakfast on March 24 in the Beacom Collaboration Center. 

This workshop will be held in the Madison Cyber Labs at DSU, from 2pm-5pm on Friday and from 9:30am-11:30am on Saturday.
