Dual-Use Ventures in an Era of Allied Resilience
The 2026 Dual-Use Horizon Report. MIT Mission Innovation X.
Role: Program Lead and Coordinating Lead Author.
What it is
Published May 2026 by MIT Mission Innovation X, the second in a series that began with The Allied Paper on Dual-Use Ventures. It was collaboratively authored by volunteers from the MIT Dual-Use Ventures 2026 (DUV26) cohort; Jonathan "JMill" Miller served as Program Lead and Coordinating Lead Author. The report examines how geopolitical pressure is pushing allied nations to build new institutional structures for dual-use innovation across three forces: capital, production, and governance. It draws on comparative case analysis, public institutional documentation, and a structured convening of more than 100 practitioners at MIT. It develops two frameworks: the three-forces model and a theater taxonomy mapping allied demand across conflict, frontier, and stable investment contexts.
Verification
The report's Authors section credits the DUV26 cohort and names Jonathan "JMill" Miller as Program Lead and Coordinating Lead Author. The MIT MIx report page hosts it.
