North Carolina Military Business Center Technology Transition Office Announces a New Statewide Initiative

North Carolina is uniquely positioned as a national leader in innovation, combining world-class research institutions, significant military assets, a highly skilled technology workforce, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Innovation is not our challenge.

Our challenge is technology transition: moving promising technologies beyond research and development/experimentation into operational capability, federal acquisition programs, commercial markets, and measurable economic impact.

To accelerate that transition, we need greater visibility into the technologies being developed across our state and a clear understanding of how they align with our nation’s Critical and Emerging Technology priorities.

That is why we are asking for your participation in the new Technology Transition Office Registry. By sharing information about your technology, you will help us identify opportunities to connect innovators with government, defense, industry, and investment partners who can help move breakthrough solutions from concept to deployment.

Purpose.

The purpose of the Technology Transition Registry is to increase the visibility of your innovation to national security organizations, government agencies, and prime contractors seeking emerging technologies and capable industry partners.

By registering your organization and technology, you enable decision-makers to identify your capabilities and align them with current and future opportunities across the national security ecosystem.

To facilitate these connections, technologies are categorized according to the federal government’s six Critical Technology Areas and their associated subcategories.

The six critical Technology Areas are:

  • Applied Artificial Intelligence (AAI)
  • Biomanufacturing (BIO)
  • Contested Logistics Technologies (LOG)
  • Quantum & Battlefield Information Dominance (Q-BID)
  • Scaled Directed Energy (SCADE)
  • Scaled Hypersonics (SHY)

What’s in it for you?

Aligning your capabilities within this framework makes it easier for government agencies, prime contractors, investors, and other funding organizations to discover relevant solutions and engage your organization for potential contracting, partnership, research and funding opportunities.

Participation in the registry helps position your technology where it can be more readily identified, evaluated, and transitioned into programs that support national security missions and economic growth.

By answering a few simple questions through our dropdown menus, you can significantly expand the visibility of your technology and increase the reach of your marketing efforts to key government, defense, and industry stakeholders.

What we do with the information

First and foremost, we are not requesting trade secrets, proprietary information, intellectual property details, or any other confidential data. Our goal is simply to understand where your technology aligns within the government’s established Critical Technology Areas and national security priorities.

The NCMBC will maintain this information in a publicly accessible online registry designed to help businesses, government agencies, prime contractors, and other stakeholders identify technologies and capabilities that support national security missions.

All submissions will be reviewed by the NCMBC before publication. Upon approval, your organization’s information will be added to the registry, increasing the visibility of your capabilities and making it easier for potential partners, customers, and funding organizations to discover and connect with you.
