MassChallenge has launched applications for its 2026 Security & Resiliency Traction Program, a 10-week accelerator designed to help pre-seed through Series A startups accelerate commercialization in defense, cybersecurity, infrastructure, climate resilience, advanced manufacturing, space, and other dual-use technologies. The zero-equity program connects founders with industry experts, government stakeholders, corporate partners, and investors to strengthen go-to-market strategies, validate technologies, and build customer and funding opportunities.
Participants receive hands-on mentorship, strategic business guidance, and access to a global innovation network focused on overcoming regulatory, procurement, and commercialization challenges common in national security and resilient infrastructure markets. The program aims to help startups achieve key milestones that improve market readiness, establish strategic partnerships, and position innovative technologies for broader commercial and government adoption.
