About THE BR-DGE DTI operates an outreach program called THE BR-DGE. THE BR-DGE is an outreach program for technology transfer and transition (T3). The program is powered by Disruptive Technology Index (DTI), a California nonprofit, in partnership with SpaceWERX, the US Space Force’s innovation arm for technology advancement. We support small businesses as they leverage the Small Business Administration’s SBIR/STTR program and aim to help further commercialize their dual-use technology efforts through programming and ecosystem building. With the sector projected to grow from $630 billion in 2023 to $1.8 trillion by 2035, THE BR-DGE serves as the center of gravity supporting entrepreneurs building space capabilities for the rapidly growing space economy.
