ARLINGTON, Va., May 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP), a non-partisan, non-profit project dedicated to strengthening America’s long-term competitiveness in artificial intelligence (AI), announced new and returning sponsors for their second AI+ Expo, scheduled for June 2-4, 2025 in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.:
- Microsoft creates platforms and tools powered by AI to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customers. Microsoft is committed to making AI available broadly and doing so responsibly, with a mission to empower every person and every organization to achieve more.
- Google is a leading technology company at the frontier of Generative AI, cybersecurity and digital transformation. Google has long built solutions that are secure by default, private by design, and tackle some of the toughest challenges.
- NobleReach Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap between government, industry and academia and driving innovation in the national interest by building a national pipeline of mission-driven talent.
“We are thrilled to once again have Microsoft’s, Google’s, and Noble Reach Foundation’s support and participation in this year’s AI+ Expo,” said SCSP President Ylli Bajraktari. “Recognizing technology’s profound impact on our national security, economy, and society, our mission is to connect today’s innovation leaders. Together, we will strengthen the United States’ and our allies’ position at the forefront of vital, emerging technologies.”
“As AI continues to advance, it will shape every aspect of our society including our economy and national security. Forums like the SCSP’s AI+ Expo are critical to bringing together industry, academia and government to understand and shape the future of AI for the U.S. and our partners,” said Vice President, National Security Group, Microsoft Leigh Madden. “We are honored to support SCSP as a sponsor for their 2025 AI+ Expo and participate in SCSP’s vital mission to understand the latest advancements in AI and the opportunities and challenges it poses for our country.”
“Using AI to build Candy Crush 3.0 is easy. Unlocking AI innovation to solve problems in the national interest – and driving prosperity in the process – is much harder,” said NobleReach CEO Arun Gupta. “That’s why we’re a proud sponsor of the SCSP AI Expo. To take full advantage of the AI revolution and stay ahead of our adversaries, we must build a community of leaders who can operate across industry, academia and government and overcome the trust deficit holding us back.”
The three-day AI+ Expo is free to attend and aims to educate the public on AI and other emerging technologies shaping the modern world. Last year’s event featured 29 sponsors, 156 exhibitors, over 400 speakers, and drew more than 10,000 attendees from 84 countries. With the show floor almost sold out, this year’s Expo is expected to draw even greater participation.
