Advancing Medical Innovation

At MTEC, we advance the rapid deployment of innovative medical technologies that improve the health of the military and civilians.

Advancing Medical Innovation

Who Are We?

MTEC is a nonprofit that funds medical technology development. We operate under a government-awarded Other Transaction Agreement (OTA)—a flexible contracting vehicle that allows us to move faster, collaborate more freely, and engage a broader range of innovators.

We drive military-civilian partnerships and foster collaboration within an extensive ecosystem of small and large businesses, federal agencies, academic institutions, and more. We rapidly deploy funding and drive innovative medical technologies that improve military and civilian health globally.
