About ATI Horizons
Investing today in what the nation will need tomorrow.
ATI Horizons is an initiative of Advanced Technology International (ATI) created to support the nation’s most critical technology needs in alignment with our non-profit mission.
Through ATI Horizons, we invest in the people, ideas, relationships, and programs that strengthen the U.S. innovation ecosystem before an emerging need becomes an urgent requirement.
Why ATI is investing
A stronger innovation ecosystem strengthens mission readiness.
Promising technologies alone are not enough. Government also needs access to trusted relationships, diverse expertise, skilled talent, and effective pathways for collaboration.
ATI invests in this ecosystem because building those foundations serves its nonprofit mission: to lessen the burden on government by helping solve national challenges at mission speed.
Through ATI Horizons, that investment takes many forms:
- Exploring emerging technologies and their mission implications
- Connecting government, industry, academia, and nontraditional innovators
- Creating open innovation programs and challenges
- Developing technical talent and workforce pathways
- Convening leaders around areas of shared interest
- Building communities that stay connected as needs and opportunities evolve

Why ATI Horizons
Readiness starts before the requirement
See the need before it becomes a requirement.
Critical technologies are advancing rapidly, converging across disciplines, and creating new possibilities for Government missions.
Build the relationships before they are urgently needed.
The relationships, talent, and pathways needed to translate those possibilities into impact cannot be built overnight.
Activate the ecosystem around what may matter next.
ATI Horizons gives ATI and its partners room to look beyond current programs, examine emerging developments, bring different perspectives together, and activate the innovation ecosystem. This helps shorten the distance between an emerging need and the people and capabilities prepared to address it.
