ABOUT CIC
The CIC, America’s first homeland and national security focused accelerator, has partnerships strategic to America’s national security which include public and private sector entities. CIC sources and screens early stage technology companies and connects those that match the desired criteria to a valuable network of industry leading “Partners” in these sectors. Current Partners include Northrop Grumman Corporation, The Boeing Company, the National Security Agency and ARINC. Partners engage CIC to keep them informed of innovation in its network of technology communities. CIC’s network of national and international communities are generally at the leading edge of technology and include venture capitalists, federal labs, universities, entrepreneurs, corporations, incubators and other technology hotspots that may not be in the Partners’ network. Partners engage the CIC to scout for a particular technology solution to address a mission critical or highly visible problem. CIC Partners' objectives are typically to find a technology to acquire, invest in, team with and/or implement within their own enterprise. CIC also mentors selected early stage technology companies and provides these Member companies a menu of services to help them address the needs of growing companies including customer contracts, funding, staffing, subject matter experts, clearances, government contracting issues, and office facilities. The CIC is recruiting companies with proprietary innovative technology, strong management teams, and homeland/national security market focus. During the program’s member selection process, each applicant is thoroughly evaluated for its business potential, technical merit and commercial viability, ability to leverage CIC offerings, and the CIC Partner channel. The CIC was created by the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation, which works to increase Anne Arundel County's economic base through job growth and investment.
