This Forum will connect companies, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and agencies looking to network for new opportunities with Maryland businesses.

Maryland Department of Commerce, in partnership with MD MEP, is excited to present the Defense Supply Chain Connectivity Forum. This Forum is designed to bring large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), agencies and Tier1 Suppliers together with smaller, capable and interested Maryland defense contractors in an effort to assist these companies with diversifying their supply chain to include non-defense customers. The Forum will provide companies the opportunity to learn OEM supplier needs and what investments and steps will be necessary to enter various commercial markets. The agenda will include a general learning session as well as opportunities to meet one-on-one with OEMs.

Key Participating Stakeholders Include:

• Non-defense Large OEMs and Tier 1 Supplier.
• All size Maryland DOD companies who can potentially be suppliers, including those already supplying commercial markets
• Federal and State Government Agencies
