Help/NDIA FAQs
What is NDIA NEXT?
NDIA NEXT builds upon key initiatives already implemented by the Association in recognition of the return to great power competition, rapidly changing character of war and evolving regulatory challenges. NDIA members enjoy unparalleled access to industry insights, networking opportunities, and advocacy for issues that impact the defense industrial base. NDIA membership provides a forum for industry, government, and academic professionals to ethically engage with potential customers, suppliers, and partners.
In a rapidly evolving national security landscape, the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) is at the forefront of addressing the critical needs of the defense industrial base through our NDIA NEXT initiative. NDIA NEXT embodies our commitment to supporting our members, chapters and divisions, ensuring the U.S. defense industry remains resilient and capable of meeting the challenges posed by near peer competition. Our ongoing initiatives are integral components of this forward-thinking strategy. Visit our Initiatives page to see a small sampling of NDIA's efforts under NDIA NEXT.
