The Medical, Biomedical & Biodefense: Support to the Warfighter Symposium (MBB Symposium) is set to convene on September 24–25, 2025, at the University of North Carolina’s Friday Center in Chapel Hill. Attendees will benefit from formal briefings, direct engagement with agencies, and informal networking sessions with buyers, users, and fellow industry professionals. This event is geared toward existing businesses that are already registered to do business with the federal government and those that attend will gain competitive advantage by developing relationships with key government/industry decision makers and by obtaining government business forecasts. These interactions can lead to partnerships, collaborations, and a deeper understanding of the challenges and needs within the military medical community and a better understanding of the procurement process. Exhibiting or viewing demonstrations of the latest medical technologies designed to support America's warfighters further enhances these opportunities. Hosted by the North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC), in collaboration with the Offices of U.S. Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd, the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium and the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, this event is a pivotal gathering for businesses aiming to engage with federal agencies and military organizations in the medical and defense sectors.
Strategic Engagement & Briefings with Federal Agencies
Our unique platform offers companies a chance to connect directly with representatives from the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services. These agencies, along with their prime vendors and major contractors, will discuss current technology gaps, future requirements, and procurement processes related to medical supplies, equipment, devices, staffing, pharmaceuticals, medical information technology, and services. This direct engagement provides businesses with invaluable insights into federal needs and contracting opportunities. Participants will have access to briefings on military requirements, procurement processes, and supplier qualifications. These sessions are designed to equip businesses with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of federal contracting and to position themselves as competitive suppliers in the defense medical market.
