2025 Maryland Defense Forum

Hosted by the Maryland Department of Commerce, Maryland Economic Development Corporation, and the Federal Business Council, Inc., the Maryland Defense Forum is set to host discussions on building military: resilience and readiness; critical Department of Defense (DoD) technologies; supply chain diversification; government contracting challenges; and more.

The 2025 Maryland Defense Forum will be a unique opportunity for leaders from installations, defense communities and defense-related industries across the Old-Line State. It will be a unique opportunity for military community representatives to meet with their on-base counterparts and state and federal officials to focus on resiliency, mutual support and coordination on key issues and mission assurance.

Maryland’s military installations have an annual economic impact of more than $60 billion and support roughly 400,000 Maryland jobs. As a top economic driver for the state, these installations drive innovation and create boundless opportunities for Maryland businesses.
