Eric Went, chief technology officer of startup accelerator Matter Labs and director of Future Labs, delivers remarks as guest speaker during the NAWCWD fiscal year 2024 Innovation Awards ceremony June 11, 2025, in the Air Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 30 hangar at Naval Air Weapons Station Point Mugu, California. Went, who returned as guest speaker for the second consecutive year, told the audience that NAWCWD is one of the few groups where he sees people doing innovation rather than just talking about it.
