Developing the Next Generation of National Security Innovators

San Jose State sits at the center of Silicon Valley, surrounded by the companies and technologies reshaping national defense. The talent is here. What's been missing is the pipeline connecting that talent to the missions that need it most. NSIN at SJSU was founded to close that gap.

We bring together students from engineering, computer science, policy, and business to work on the problems our country can't afford to ignore. Supply chain vulnerabilities, emerging threats, critical infrastructure, strategic competition. These challenges demand people from every discipline working together, and we're building that team at SJSU.
