We are looking for entrepreneurs, startups, and companies with emerging products and technologies to apply for the Spring 2017 inaugural Washington DC Metro cohort to be held at the Center for Innovative Technology (www.cit.org) in Herndon, VA.

For the Spring 2017 cohort, solutions will focus on one of 3 key areas of the infrastructure challenge:
- Transport – Solutions that reduce costs, extend serviceable life, reduce congestion, improve parking, improve inter-modalities (car, train, bus, bike, pedestrian), or leverage smart, autonomous, and intelligent transportation solutions to improve our transportation infrastructure network.
- Resilience and Public Safety – Solutions and/or IoT technologies that address the safety and security of the urban public; that mitigate the impact of rising sea levels, extreme weather events, or other natural or man-made shocks; that protect critical infrastructure; or those solutions that allow cities to be more livable and sustainable.
- Construction Techniques – Solutions that improve the design, construction, or maintenance of infrastructure; reduce lifecycle costs or improve safety, schedules, or margins.
