RAMP MD’s 2025 Symposium brings together leaders from government, industry, and academia to examine the critical decisions and opportunities that shape the journey from “prototype to production.” This year’s event highlights how advanced manufacturing is more than a technology—it is a powerful economic driver fueling regional competitiveness, accelerating technology transition, and creating high-wage jobs. Sessions explore how cutting-edge innovations in materials, processes, and digital integration move from the lab to scalable solutions, building resilient supply chains, and strengthening the defense industrial base. Featuring industry trailblazers and academic pioneers, the Symposium offers a forward-looking view of how advanced manufacturing transforms both national security and local economies.
