In-Person
National Harbor, MD

Walk away with a clear picture of how biomanufacturing builds resilient supply chains for national security. The Biomanufacturing for Defense & Security Summit, hosted by DSI Group, focuses on domestic production of critical materials, medicines, and alternative fuels. It connects the push for a stronger U.S. bioindustrial base directly to the needs of the warfighter.
This summit is built for innovators in commercial industry, academia, and military research labs. Attendees will hear directly from the Department of War (DoW), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and other federal leaders on how they are scaling biomanufacturing and creating alternative materials. Vertx Partners knows that successful technology transition requires understanding exactly where the government needs help. This event puts you in the room with stakeholders actively looking for solutions to reduce reliance on foreign resources.
The event takes place October 27 to 28, 2026, in National Harbor, Maryland.
