Purpose and Program Overview
The Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC) is a US-based consortium. It supports the development of innovative medical technologies. Its goal is to improve the health of US military personnel and veterans. These technologies also have civilian applications. MTEC works with government agencies, industry, and academia.
The consortium helps accelerate the development and deployment of these technologies. It does this by providing efficient access to US government funding opportunities. The broader role of MTEC is to foster collaboration. It connects a wide range of partners to address critical medical challenges.
MTEC’s funding is provided through an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with the US Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC). This structure is designed to speed up the contracting process.
