SHOWCASE RECAP
What a fantastic showcase! The live event was full of demonstrations, networking, and the SBCC team showing why we are the government's answer to help bring new technologies and capabilities into the DoD and beyond!
SBCC recently partnered with Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) to host the WR-ALC Commercial Capabilities Showcase—an event designed to identify and transition cutting-edge commercial solutions to enhance General Visual Inspections (GVI) of aircraft and large assets. The showcase provided a unique platform for companies to present their technologies directly to key Air Force decision-makers, accelerating the path from concept to operational use.
WATCH THE ACTION!
A Professional, Result-Driven Event
Despite weather delays that extended the event, the SBCC team quickly adapted—reorganizing schedules and ensuring every company had equal time to present. The structured and professional execution earned praise from both participants and WR-ALC leadership.
The event featured six companies - hand-picked from 21 submissions - showcasing solutions designed to improve Air Force maintenance and repair processes. Every participant received detailed feedback from WR-ALC evaluators, including a rubric heat map assessing their submission’s alignment with operational requirements.
Why the Showcase Matters
The showcase wasn’t just about demonstrating technology—it was about creating real opportunities for commercial companies to engage with the Department of Defense (DoD) and deliver mission-critical solutions. Through this event, SBCC aimed to assist WR-ALC identify and transition valuable commercial solutions into operational use, supporting the Air Force’s broader modernization efforts.
