On Friday, Governor Wes Moore, alongside Maryland's congressional delegation, unveiled an expansion of the Maryland Defense Technology Commercialization Center (DefTech). This initiative is backed by a substantial $585,463 grant from the Department of Defense, complemented by state matching funds. The objective of this program is to bolster startups and small businesses engaged in the commercialization of defense technologies.
The DefTech program aims to enhance the state's role as a hub for innovation in defense-related sectors. By providing financial support and resources, the initiative seeks to accelerate the development and deployment of cutting-edge technologies that can meet the needs of the defense industry. Governor Moore emphasized the importance of fostering a robust ecosystem for defense technology, which not only supports economic growth but also strengthens national security.
This expansion is expected to create new opportunities for entrepreneurs and contribute to the diversification of Maryland's economy, positioning it as a leader in defense technology commercialization.
