2. Submit all the required documents outlined within the submission form to [email protected]

MTAC will acknowledge your submission and discuss your proposed technology or solution at the next monthly MTAC meeting. Secondary research may be conducted by MTAC and may involve a request for you to provide a vendor presentation. Notifications will be sent to the submitting vendor/entrepreneur regarding submission acceptance, non-acceptance, or additional information. 

If you have questions, please see the Frequently Asked Questions Tab or reach out to [email protected].
