Virginia APEX Accelerators

The APEX Accelerators serve as an axis for existing and new businesses to strengthen the defense industrial base by accelerating innovation, fostering ingenuity, and establishing resilient and diverse supply chains. 

The Virginia APEX Accelerator, formerly known as the Virginia Procurement Technical Assistance Center, is a sponsored program of George Mason University. Headquartered in Fairfax, with counselors throughout Virginia, we serve businesses in 80 jurisdictions ranging from Loudoun to Roanoke and Richmond to Hampton Roads and the Eastern Shore. All counselors provide one-on-one advice to help businesses with government contracting at the Federal, State, and Local levels.
