### Project 732 — Office of Strategic Capital

In support of the Department of War, Office of Strategic Capital’s (OSC) mission is to attract and scale private capital to technologies critical to the national and economic security of the United States. To accomplish its mission, OSC uses loans, loan guarantees, and technical assistance – an efficient use of taxpayer dollars – to crowd in investment by aligning government and private sector incentives. The office’s tools take advantage of the power of markets and competition to support DoW needs. OSC’s investments are guided by: (i) control of economic chokepoints; (ii) scaling of key industries, and (iii) commercialization of critical technologies. OSC investments will provide the Department of War advantages in all these competitive arenas, especially by securing critical supply chains and rebuilding the industrial base. Specifically, OSC will: • Develop new financial products, such as direct equipment finance loans for manufacturers, project finance loans to support capital intensive projects, working capital loans for businesses in need of short-term financing, and loan guarantees through private banks. • Provide loans, loan guarantees and technical assistance to businesses, funds, and other entities within the 33 Covered Technology Categories prescribed by Congress. • Identify and prioritize areas for investment through engagements with the Services, Combatant Commands, National Security Council, and other interagency partners. • Create new data tools to map economic networks to determine chokepoints that impact U.S. national and economic security. • Increase private capital investment to enhance the commercialization of DoW and United States Government (USG) science & technology investments.
