A dedicated space where government, industry & academia converge
The Digital Transformation Center is the perfect place for industry, academia, and government teams to collaborate on digital transformation efforts. Our membership includes access to the Digital Enterprise Collaboratory, which offers advanced digital engineering tools to help with digital engineering solutions. With a DTC Membership, you’ll have access to collaboration opportunities at all levels, meeting rooms, member-only and social events, plus much more.
What is the role of the DTC?
Provide a physical co-location
Small, leasable office space mixed with shared collaboration space breaks down physical barriers to connect industry partners with government stakeholders to ideate and build new solutions in real-time. Innovation sparks when creative minds come together, and the DTC serves as the catalyst.
Lead the way in workforce Development
Ideas are the starting point, but a skilled workforce is needed to bring the ideas to life. The DTC accomplishes this by forging partnerships with local universities and facilitating the collaboration between industry partners and students for co-op programs, internships, and part-time employment opportunities. By providing students with real-world digital engineering work and training opportunities it creates career pathways in a hands-on work-and-learn environment.
Provide digital engineering tools
Provide digital engineering tools: The DTC will house the Digital Design Studio (DDS), powered by Ohio University. The DDS will provide access to digital engineering tools including AR/VR equipment. It will allow industry members to learn, and use tools needed to advance their digital transformation initiatives. The DDS will make these tools readily accessible, removing costly barriers and long lead times that otherwise impede progress.
Momentum
Ever notice a stagnant body of water? Because the water isn’t moving it becomes prey to toxic algae making it hazardous to wildlife, plants, and people. Technology can easily become stagnant creating possibilities for those who want to do harm, limiting industry growth potential, and dormant education programs for the workforce. What can be done? The digital transformation revolution.
Digital transformation isn’t a new buzzword that means doing the same old thing. It means advancing technology to meet the needs of the military, harvesting ideas from industry, and training the workforce to fill new job openings. It’s bringing partners together in a way that encourages collisions of ideas to generate solutions to strengthen our national defense, our local communities, and our student’s opportunities in the workforce.
The Digital Transformation Center is a place to ignite the connections that can accelerate change. Members can interact with the Air Force to share challenges and craft solutions. Industry can gear up their businesses to meet the needs by working with local colleges for local students to get co-ops or internships so they can train for the future.

About the Digital Transformation Center
The Digital Transformation Center (DTC) serves as a dedicated space where government, industry, and academia will converge to collaborate, brainstorm, educate, and cooperate in advancing digital transformation in support of the United States Air Force (USAF). When these powerful groups collaborate, they create a synergy that transcends individual capabilities, creating genuine and impactful innovation.
The USAF has identified a critical need to drive digital transformation across its organization. This strategic initiative aims to eliminate data barriers, enhance operational efficiency, and substantially accelerate the pace of innovation. Digital transformation is the key to our future success, and the need for action is urgent.
