The Partnership
What is the IABTI Adopt a Tech Program?
The IABTI — International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators — is the global professional home for EOD and bomb tech professionals, operating across 72 nations since 1974. Their Adopt a Tech program connects sponsors with technicians who lack the resources to join, bringing more of the global EOD community into the fold.
EOD Gear® is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business founded by a US Navy EOD Technician. Supporting IABTI is not a marketing play — it is a direct investment in the professionals this company was built to serve.
