On Industry Day, the Fort Meade Alliance brought together government and industry for a meaningful dialogue with acquisition leadership from the United States Cyber Command, the NSA - National Security Agency, and the Defense Information Systems Agency.
During this focused discussion with the Defense Industrial Base, senior contracting and acquisition officials shared critical insights and candor on mission priorities, procurement trends, clarity on acquisition pathways, how industry can better align with evolving cyber and information warfare needs, and the importance of collaboration between government and industry to deliver integrated, mission-focused solutions.
Special thanks to our Keynote Speaker Senator Katie Fry Hestor for sharing her insights on AI, cyber threats, and how collaboration among government, industry, education, and military partners strengthens both Maryland’s economy and national security.
