The unravelling of the global supply chain was one of the most debilitating economic and geopolitical issues of 2021.  Fragile prior to COVID-19, the effects of the Virus served to supercharge the vulnerabilities of the supply chain for commerce, public health, and national security. 

In the state of Maryland, many of our most important industries and institutions ranging from biotechnology to the Department of Defense were severely affected.   

As consumers, business leaders and policy makers continue to deal with the fallout,  it’s time rethink the design and management of supply chains across sectors. 

New questions must be asked about supplier redundancy, point of sale production, cybersecurity, and the increased use of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence. 

We answer those questions with experts doing that now for thousands of clients.

Presentations by Xometry, an on-demand industrial parts marketplace, masterfully managing an online marketplace where more than 40,000 buyers purchase manufacturing services from an international network of more than 5,000 manufacturers and machine shops, and Interos, a much-in-demand, woman-owned company with a $Billion valuation. They apply resiliency solutions to the supply chain using the power of AI and machine learning to map, monitor, and model the entire supply chain to detect distress and vulnerabilities across global physical and digital supply chains.

On February 17th , join the Northeastern Maryland Technology Council in partnership with the Maryland Technology Council as we consider new strategies for revolutionizing and making our supply chain more resilient.

Quickly, here are the topics:

1 How business model innovation is disrupting markets, accelerating competitive advantage for those nimble enough to adapt.

2 When technical modernization and digital transformation within the Department of Defense replaces legacy thinking, affecting how contractors must plan to support.

3 Why Predictive Analytics, Information Modeling, Artificial Intelligence, and digital business model innovation improves legacy industrial markets including water, energy, and civil design

Before COVID-19, organizations were already navigating major secular trends like the digital transformation that fundamentally altered the business landscape.  The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation and ushered in new business models challenging firms to remain competitive in an increasingly connected, winner-take-all economy. 

These new business models have become the signature of the most successful companies through the pandemic. They are quickly distinguishing the companies that will thrive from those that will merely survive or worse. 

On October 21, our expert NMTC panel will explore the most impactful new business models affecting contemporary business.  We will examine areas such as cloud computing and the ability to deliver “everything-as-a-service.”  Artificial intelligence continues to unlock new insights, and incremental revenue streams as many organizations reinvent themselves as “digital-first” organizations.   

With our distinguished group of business and technology executives, we’ll discuss the latest product and service delivery innovations that create entirely new ways of working. 

These novel methods of delivering value, creating differentiation, and gaining market share are upending the shape of markets across sectors.  Join us as we examine many of the most critical business model developments in detail and learn how you can harness them to deliver new solutions at your organization

The Future of Everything: Covid-19: Technology, Markets, and Political Implications in 2021…and well beyond. See below for presentations download and You Tube Video

“COVID-19, and our responses to it, have dramatically altered our lives. Important things we depend on have, and continue to change; some forever, forcing us to rapidly adapt. Understanding how we adapt to the Virus will affect society in 2021 is imperative to navigating its lasting repercussions and eventually overcoming it.

As business, government and non-profit leaders continue to navigate their organizations through the lasting effects of COVID-19, the NMTC is bringing together three experts to discuss technology, business, and politics in 2021:

Starting our 5th year, this iDisruptor presented new technologies and new technology sectors emerging or grown at scale nine months into the pandemic and queuing you into what markets are baking into 2021, a result of the enduring effects of COVID-19.  Also, identifying new sectors paved by COVID-19 and technology prognostication that has and has not panned out at this critical juncture in the pandemic.

How our health will be made secure showcased by Medstar’s Telehealth, previously in its infancy before the pandemic but now conducting thousands of telehealth transactions each month.  This remarkable telehealth journey predicts if traditional medical appointment will ever be the same again.

Finally, the effect the 2020 election will have on COVID-19 government mitigation and financial markets.  Our distinguished group of speakers forecast what may be in store for business, technology, and what politics may cause, in the wake of one of the most consequential elections in recent history.

The NMTC presented answers of profound importance to the future of everything! Our three nationally recognized thought leaders revealed what is to come with the Virus in 2021 and beyond.  This is the first installment of NMTC’s new series: The Future of Everything, capturing for you the interconnections of serious, game-changing, emerging technologies.

This tech-talk explored economic and technological aspects of this challenge.  It was a dive deep discussion on the future of work as COVID-19 has turned economic thinking upside down, leaving organizational leaders to consider new ways to work, and firms responding by rethinking the modern workplace and traditional management science.

This was the largest virtual tech event ever hosted by NMTC, and also the largest tech event his year.

A few organizations had multiple attendees on the talk, where afterwards, they would collaborate on the speaker’s points to contemplate how that would benefit their own organization. 

You’ll find the downloadable video, below, which is easy to share with your team to encourage conversation and determine for you, how best to accommodate a post COVID-19 world.
