The Consortium Empowering Innovation Together

The CEED Network unites top technology leaders, innovators, and Government partners to accelerate solutions in energy, logistics, manufacturing, and more. Together, we enhance defense capabilities and address national security challenges, both now and in the future.

800+

Over 450 companies and institutions are part of CEED, forming a dynamic ecosystem of innovators from energy, logistics, manufacturing, and more. Our network accelerates defense innovation by connecting these organizations, giving the Government access to next-gen solutions.

100M

CEED members enjoy fast-tracked acquisition, with projects under $100M awarded swiftly. This enables the rapid deployment of critical solutions to meet urgent defense requirements.

CMG: Your Trusted Partner in Innovation
