CBRN Defense Modernization Challenge

Submit for a chance to pitch your CBRN Defense Modernization technology to top investment, industry and military tech-scouts as an unsolicited brief. Top ranked submissions will pitch in-person at the 2023 Medical & WMD Countermeasures Summit in conjunctions with the TechConnect World Innovation Conference & Expo (Washington, DC, June 2023). Participating consortia, the Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC) and the Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Consortium represent over $20 Billion in non-dilutive contracting authority for prototyping emerging technologies. Submission is open to ALL irrespective of active membership in MCDC or CWMD.

No cash prizes will be offered; however, all submissions will be provided to the Government and may be the basis for future requirements. This represents a first-of kind in generating unsolicited innovation input from industry.

We recommend using this Microsoft Word document as a tool to assist in saving and completing your submission.
