Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC)
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to advancing the rapid deployment of innovative medical technologies that improve the health of both military personnel and civilians. MTEC fosters military-civilian partnerships and collaboration among businesses, federal agencies, academic institutions, and other stakeholders. Through a flexible Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), MTEC expedites the development and commercialization of cutting-edge medical solutions, bridging the gap between research and real-world application. With over 700 members, MTEC has facilitated more than $1.3 billion in federal funding, 358 awarded projects, and a robust pipeline of 141 products.

What We Do
A new bone void filler designed by Vanderbilt to induce bone growth, provide bone-like mechanical properties, and resorb at a rate aligned with patient biology, addressing the challenge of stabilizing fractures in both military and civilian populations.
A medical device developed by Critical Innovations that provides hematoma drainage and intracranial pressure monitoring for TBI patients, enabling earlier life-saving interventions on the battlefield.
Adaptation of the Project Safe Guard (PSG) intervention for military populations, emphasizing peer discussions and addressing implementation challenges, supported by MOMRP and MTEC.
A prospective study with Northwell Health and Fitbit to validate a COVID-19 detection algorithm using wearable devices, aiming to bring illness detection capabilities to users and address force readiness for the U.S. Armed Forces.
Efficient access to government funding opportunities through MTEC’s OTA, designed to reduce administrative burden and speed time-to-award.
Opportunities for partnering and teaming on groundbreaking research and prototype efforts with commercial potential.
