The Advanced Manufacturing Exchange
Baltimore’s manufacturing story is evolving and growing. The Advanced Manufacturing Exchange brought the region’s advanced manufacturing founders, public sector leaders, engineers, and more into Stanley Black & Decker’s new Experience & Innovation Center. Together, speakers and attendees alike took on topics like workforce pipelines, new technology, and investment opportunities in a unique space showcasing the results of SBD’s own research and development.
Inflection Point Healthcare Summit
This inaugural full-day forum was built to bridge the gap between emerging policy and applied technology in care delivery. The summit brought funders, founders, health system executives, scholars, clinicians, and government agency leaders together for a series of conversations on healthcare outcomes, AI, innovation, Maryland’s all-payer model, and what it takes for this state and region to lead the country in healthcare innovation.
