SOFWERX events are utilized to solve Warfighter problems through collaboration, ideation, and rapid prototyping. USSOCOM representatives who are considering using SOFWERX to solve a problem can submit an event request to begin the dialogue. The use of the SOFWERX platform to run/facilitate events is funded via the Partnership Intermediary Agreements (PIA) with USSOCOM. Therefore, in most cases, there is no cost to the requestor(s). Additional funding needs are determined on a case-by-case basis and can be discussed during the planning process. To learn more about various events, please see the descriptions by visiting events.sofwerx.org.

The SOFWERX Tech Tuesday Team invites Innovators to submit their game-changing technologies for an opportunity to highlight their capabilities to government stakeholders from USSOCOM, as well as other Government Agencies and Services!

Come see SOFWERX for yourself! Tours are available every Wednesday at 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Meet with us for a SOFWERX 101 and walk through the space to learn more about our mission. Tours require no more than an hour. Government personnel with the following ranks are considered VIP and should complete the respective VIP Tour Request form: E-9, O-7 through O-10, SES Level V - Level I (or their equivalents).

SOFWERX is an ideal location for Government personnel to meet in an UNCLASSIFIED facility. Our space is available for USSOCOM to collaborate with Industry, Academia, National Labs, and other Government agencies who wouldn’t normally have base access. Each conference room is equipped with a telephone, monitor, Wi-Fi, and white boards.USSOCOM recommends utilizing one of the conference rooms at the HQ, UTB, JSOU, or Education Center if attendees have base access.

SOFWERX creates opportunities to solve challenging Warfighter problems through Discovery, Engagement, and Acceleration of critical thought and capabilities at scale. As we continue to curate and mature our innovation practices for Special Operations Forces, thought Leadership and transparency will remain the touchstones of our success. Below are the metrics used by the CMD to guide our efforts and those of our valuable ecosystem partners.

Review some of our Warfighter's greatest challenges. It's important to note that access to SOFWERX Projects is restricted exclusively to US Government Common Access Card (CAC) holders and DEFENSEWERX Employees. Referenced below are links encompassing both past and current SOFWERX projects. For any inquiries concerning these projects, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Presently, our initiatives involve the development of prototypes and proofs of concept aimed at fulfilling the needs of USSOCOM warfighters. The ensuing data provides an overview of our ongoing projects, and for more in-depth information on a specific project, kindly contact us. Furthermore, our team has historically engaged in numerous projects in support of the USSOCOM warfighter mission.

The Foundry, located in the SOFWERX facility, is capable of complex engineering manufacturing. We leverage machining, 3D printing, plasma/laser cutters, and all facets of welding, including the ability to develop small electronic components. We facilitate complete CAD packages while working closely with our clients to provide useable rapid prototypes & proof of concepts in our ever-growing inventory of capabilities.
