Organizer of North Carolina Defense Industry Diversification Initiative Kick-Off
In a proactive response to changes in federal defense budgets the North Carolina Defense Industry Diversification Initiative (DIDI) was created. The initiative is being managed through a partnership of NC State Industry Expansion Solutions and the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The goal is to understand, support, and respond to the needs of North Carolina’s defense businesses at the state level. The initiative seeks to ensure that the defense supply chain remains robust, so that it is able to quickly absorb sudden high demands from Department of Defense agencies.
