The Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium (NBMC) was formed by FlexTech Alliance, for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), in collaboration with a USwide group of industry partners.

The mission of NBMC is to bring together leading scientists, engineers, and business development professionals from industry and universities in order to work collaboratively in a consortium, and to mature an integrated suite of nano-bio manufacturing technologies to transition to industrial manufacturing.

NBMC matures nano-bio manufacturing technologies. Initial activities focused on AFRL/DoD priorities of physiological readiness and human performance monitoring, among others. One of the first goals is to identify technologies and fund projects across the supply chain so that results can be applied, through partnerships, all the way across the technology development curve.
