This week is the Farnborough International Airshow and I am excited to join Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford and nine outstanding small and mid-sized Maryland companies as we promote Maryland’s unparalleled assets and strategic location to a global audience.

Farnborough is truly a “not-to-be-missed” show. With more than 100,000 visitors and 1,500 exhibitors from around the world looking to buy and sell products and services, this is a unique opportunity to connect our Maryland businesses with partners and customers they may not have otherwise had a chance to meet.

This show also puts us in front of the senior decision-makers of the world’s top aerospace companies. Lt. Governor Rutherford and I have a number of meetings with companies to promote Maryland and all we have to offer, particularly our proximity to key federal agencies that are important to the aerospace industry, our highly-educated workforce and the fact that we are home to eight of the top 10 aerospace companies in the U.S., including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, BAE Systems, and General Dynamics.
