Fed Supernova has come a long way since its early days. Back in 2021, when I attended the inaugural Fed Supernova in Texas, it was modest in size—an intimate gathering of innovators emerging cautiously from their COVID cocoons. Fast forward to today, and this three-day event hosted by Capital Factory has evolved into a vibrant nexus of collaboration, where leaders from government, industry, and academia converge to exchange ideas, spark creativity, and ignite partnerships in support of national security innovation (fedsupernova.com).

A Transformative Gathering
Fed Supernova’s impressive growth reflects its strategic importance. Today, it’s the #1 defense-innovation event of the year—a force multiplier that brings commercial tech innovators face-to-face with DoD leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and acquisition experts. The programming spans keynotes, pitch sessions, demos, networking, and insights into federal technology roadmaps—creating an unmatched arena for forging dual-use solutions that serve both commercial and defense needs.
Kinnami’s Journey and Momentum
This year, Kinnami arrives at Fed Supernova riding an extraordinary wave of progress in advancing its Zero-Trust Data Mesh for National Security:
NATO DIANA Accelerator – Showcased our flagship platform, AmiShare™, a resilient, portable, zero-trust data infrastructure built for mission-critical operations in contested or disconnected environments.
SBIR Aisle & DARPA ERIS – Achieved placement in the SBIR Aisle and “Awardable” status in DARPA’s ERIS Marketplace, making AmiShare more accessible for government acquisition.
Army Corps of Engineers — Living Bridge Project – Demonstrated AmiShare as part of a real-time bridge health monitoring solution for the SMART-RDF initiative.
Edge-Centric Technology – Provided secure, peer-to-peer data sharing across satellites, drones, IoT devices, and more—even in denied or unstable environments.
Recognition & Awards – Named a Gartner “Cool Vendor in Edge Computing” in 2023 and won the NATO Innovation Challenge in 2022 for resilience innovation.
Why Kinnami's Zero-Trust Data Mesh for National Security Matters
The convergence of programming, partnership, and innovation at Fed Supernova aligns perfectly with Kinnami’s mission: to build resilient, secure data infrastructure at the digital edge that underpins mission success and the safety of those who serve. This event is more than a conference—it’s a catalyst for collaboration, co-development, and scaled impact.
