USMSM Doing Business with Government Agencies Speaker Series
Presented by the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland (USMSM). Small businesses play a critical role in advancing innovation, technology, and mission capabilities across the Department of Defense. Yet moving an innovative technology from concept or prototype to an operational government capability can be challenging. Understanding the technology transition process, acquisition environment, customer requirements, partnerships, and pathways available to small businesses is essential for organizations seeking to do business with government agencies successfully. Join the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland (USMSM) for the third session of our Doing Business with Government Agencies Speaker Series, featuring Dr. Dale L. Moore, Chair of the Maryland Aerospace and Technology Commission. This engaging session is designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, government contractors, defense industry partners, technology companies, researchers, faculty, students, economic development professionals, workforce development leaders, and others interested in understanding how innovative technologies can successfully transition into government and defense applications.
