BARDA Industry Day is the annual meeting held to increase potential partner’s awareness of U.S. Government medical countermeasure priorities, interact with BARDA and ASPR staff, and network with public and private sector colleagues working in the Health Security space. This year,  BARDA Industry Day 2020 will be virtual and will feature one day of exciting speakers, breakout sessions, and valuable networking opportunities!  The primary mission of BARDA’s industry day is to advance innovation and development of medical countermeasures, bring together potential collaborators from across organizations, share our accomplishments among our stakeholders, and provide BARDA’s vision for the upcoming year’s priorities.

BARDA, through the CARB-X and Drive programs, is supporting a networks of wrap-around-service-oriented accelerators that can be leveraged to prepare partners for donor funding. The hope is to fill and maintain a pipeline of partners ready and able to apply for advanced research support while bolstering the market of life-saving countermeasures. DRIVE and CARB-X will organize a panel of BARDA supported accelerators who will describe how “wrap-around services” have actually lead to better products (fitting the BID theme of ‘responding together’. At the end of the panel, we will moderate a Q&A with audience members. Promotional material from other accelerators will be made available digitally for audience members.
