HJF Innovation Ecosystem

From Concept to Commercialization

The HJF Innovation Ecosystem provides enhanced support across the continuum of military medical innovation to accelerate the availability of relevant medical products and services to our nation's warfighters, veterans, and civilians.

The Innovation Ecosystem is a formal partnership framework that connects DoD medical research labs and treatment facilities, biomedical and biotechnology companies, private investment and regional economic development entities, all in support of the advanced development and commercialization of military medical innovations.

Convene, Connect, Collaborate

This community of stakeholders is actively engaged in a sustainable process that supports the continual innovation of technology to advance military medicine. 


As the integrator, HJF connects the appropriate stakeholders from diverse sectors to move promising innovations to commercialization.
