Fuse Dual-Use Supply Chain Accelerator
Accelerating the Future: Strategic Innovation with Purpose
Fuse is building a new model for supporting dual-use innovation—where commercial success and national impact go hand in hand. We partner with founders developing transformative technologies and help them scale through a powerful mix of enterprise access, investor connections, and hands-on support.
Located in Northwest Arkansas, Fuse operates at the heart of one of the country’s most dynamic innovation corridors. The region is anchored by Fortune 500 powerhouses—Walmart, Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt, and ArcBest—and a deep bench of global suppliers and logistics partners. This unique ecosystem gives startups rare proximity to decision-makers and customers across sectors like supply chain, retail, food systems, advanced mobility, and infrastructure.
Our mission is to bridge frontier technologies with real-world market needs. By activating strategic partnerships, connecting capital with capability, and accelerating commercialization pathways, we help startups thrive—and build a future where innovation drives economic strength and global resilience.
