Velocity Summit Unveils First Speakers to Speed Defense Manufacturing

North Carolina Military Business Center and The Protocase Companies announce first speakers for the inaugural Velocity Summit, focusing on accelerating defense manufacturing.

The Velocity Summit arrives at a critical time when the U.S. defense industrial base must rapidly adapt to emerging threats and technological advancements. The collaboration between military, industry, and government leaders is essential to overcoming bottlenecks in production, supply chain resilience, and innovation. North Carolina’s robust manufacturing and aerospace sectors, along with its significant military presence, position it as a key player in this national effort. By fostering dialogue and actionable strategies, the summit aims to drive tangible improvements in how quickly and efficiently the U.S. can design, produce, and sustain the systems that keep the nation secure. This matters because a agile and responsive defense manufacturing capability is not just a strategic advantage—it is a necessity for national security and economic vitality.
