SURF 2025
The 2025 San Antonio Military Health and Universities Research Forum (SURF) will be held in conjunction with the Military Medical Industry Day (MMID) and the AIM Health R&D Summit bringing together Academia, Industry, and Military researchers. The summit will be hosted on June 16-17, 2025, at The Henry B Gonzalez Convention Center in downtown San Antonio, TX.
The AIM Health R&D Summit serves as a premier platform to unite academia, industry and the military to accelerate the research, development and commercialization of transformative medical technologies with a focus on advancing the military medical mission and dual-use applications.
By connecting top innovators across sectors, AIM creates pathways to discovery and commercialization while addressing common critical challenges in military and civilian healthcare, encouraging the cross-pollination of ideas and expertise to drive forward the next generation of breakthroughs. The collaboration between researchers, innovators and military leaders serves as a catalyst for medical advancements that not only enhance military readiness but also have the potential to improve healthcare outcomes on a global scale.
