Oakland County and Michigan partner to help businesses access $400 billion in U.S. defense technology opportunities


There is still time for technology innovators to register for the Defense Innovate and Integrate (Di2) Summit on Thursday, Nov. 14. This event aims to guide technology-driven businesses in navigating the $400 billion U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) market, offering insight into how the Armed Services and Homeland Security find, acquire and integrate new technologies.

The summit, which takes place at the Michigan State University Management Education Center in Troy, provides attendees with a unique opportunity to network with industry leaders, government officials and defense experts. All technology innovators in advanced manufacturing, defense, engineering, IT, mobility, robotics and R&D industries are welcome to attend “Oakland County is committed to opening doors for our technology businesses to explore new markets, and the Di2 Summit is an excellent opportunity for them to connect with the Department of Defense,” said Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter. “This event will help our businesses understand how they can contribute to national security while driving economic growth right here at home.”

The program begins at 8:30 a.m. Thursday and concludes with a reception at 4:30 p.m. The event fee is $150 for Oakland County firms and $200 for non-Oakland County companies. For the full schedule?and to register, visit https://di2summit.com. Contact hello@oaklandthrive.org for more information.
