Bowler Pons, an innovative technology consulting and solutions development firm rooted in comprehensive security expertise, will attend eMerge Americas 2026 as the company expands its footprint beyond defense tech and into the commercial technology market.

Founded in 2012, Bowler Pons has built its reputation supporting headquarters commands in the Department of War, most notably the U.S. Navy, where the company delivers integrated technology solutions that automate and supplement security forces. What began as consulting work evolved into hands-on engineering, research and development, and the creation of proprietary technology now serving operational environments.

"Our current customers know us well, know what we offer, and we have brand recognition with them, but outside of that bubble, we're looking to bring awareness and outreach to those with similar needs," said Mark, co-founder of Bowler Pons.

Last year, the company launched ShadowGuardTM, a trademarked technology ecosystem focused on comprehensive security automation and advanced perception. ShadowGuardTM is designed to help organizations become more efficient and effective with their security investments, whether they operate in defense, critical infrastructure, or the private sector.

"What we do is applicable to anyone with an important mission, whether that's an organization protecting proprietary data, a research and development facility, or a data center campus."

eMerge Americas represents a strategic pivot for the company, which has historically attended defense and security conferences. The event's blend of defense tech programming and commercial startup culture offers Bowler Pons an opportunity to explore dual-use applications for its technology across sectors including banking, healthcare, and critical infrastructure protection.

The company will also lead a breakout session during the conference, presenting its approach to security automation and advanced perception to the broader eMerge audience.

Bowler Pons is working with SBIR Advisors on business development and SBIR pursuits, a partnership that has opened doors to new networks and market opportunities. The company is targeting 10 to 15 percent growth by the end of 2026, with several major initiatives in progress that could accelerate that trajectory.

eMerge Americas 2026 takes place in Miami, FL. For more information about Bowler Pons and Shadow Guard, visit the company at the conference or connect with the team on LinkedIn.
