Medical, Biomedical & Biodefense: Support to the Warfighter and Veteran Symposium

The Medical, Biomedical & Biodefense: Support to the Warfighter and Veteran Symposium connects the medical, biomedical and biodefense community with military and federal agencies seeking innovative solutions to support America’s warfighters and veterans. Attendees will engage directly with representatives from the Departments of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other federal agencies, along with major primes and contractors, to learn about current capability gaps, future needs, and how to navigate procurement processes. Designed for businesses, researchers, manufacturers, service providers, and innovators of all sizes, the event offers valuable briefings, informal networking with buyers and end users, and exposure to emerging medical technologies, services, and resources shaping the future of military and federal healthcare and national defense. Medical Support to the Warfighter will connect businesses in North Carolina with military and other federal agencies that require or purchase medical supplies, equipment, devices, staffing, pharmaceuticals, medical information technology, and medical services. Representatives from the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, their prime vendors and major contractors — from national commands and bases, commands and facilities in North Carolina — will highlight current technology or resource gaps and needs, future requirements and procurement processes to supply military and federal medical facilities and agencies. The Biomedical and Biodefense Support to the Warfighter track will focus on establishing a dialogue between industry and academia-based technology innovators and military and government officials to address the current and future biomedical and biodefense needs of the military and our nation.
