Loan Program Office
Abstract
This project invests via loans, loan guarantees, convertible instruments, and / or purchase commitments in Critical Technology (CT) companies to scale domestic manufacturing and infrastructure. CT companies require significant capital to manufacture and deploy critical technologies. Given the market risk of emerging critical technologies, as well as higher domestic production costs, private capital financing is often insufficient or unavailable to CT companies. This elevated cost decreases the probability that companies will have enough time to scale production to meet DoD needs and increases the probability of off-shoring manufacturing.
