The public is invited to the University of Maryland MATRIX Lab’s Industry Open House from 9am to 3pm Wednesday, July 15. The Patuxent Partnership is helping to publicize the event.
The free event at the University System of Maryland at Southern Maryland SMART Building in California, MD, is a unique opportunity to connect with small businesses, major defense primes (including lead sponsor HII Mission Technologies), and federal organizations looking to partner on university research and student recruiting.

Throughout the day, sessions including fireside chats, keynotes, and panels will highlight how industry, academia, and government can collaborate through UMD and the MATRIX Lab.
This is a high-value opportunity for faculty, staff, and students to:
- Secure collaborative funding through SBIR/STTR grants, MIPS, and state-level initiatives that require university research partnerships.
- Learn how to position your work to align with federal R&D priorities.
- Connect with senior Navy leadership, including Stephen Cricchi, deputy commander of NAVAIR, for firsthand insight into upcoming DoD priorities and acquisition pathways.
- Expand student pipelines and explore corporate and government sponsorships for capstone projects.
The SMART Building is at 44219 Airport Road.
