Leading the Way

Alfredo Fernandez will present an export/ITAR compliance briefing at “Leading the Way,” a full-day industry/procurement event which will connect suppliers with procurement personnel from the seven divisions of General Dynamics, including Electric Boat. The event will feature training programs and business-to-business marketing opportunities such as a cybersecurity program by ConnStep and Polaris, and an overview of the newly-formed Naval and Maritime Consortium, SBIR and the successful Manufacturing Pipeline Initiative (MPI) program. Event partners include Connecticut and Rhode Island Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs), led by host agency Connecticut PTAC, the Southeastern CT Enterprise Region (seCTer), and the Connecticut Department of Economic & Community Development (DECD). PTACs assist suppliers in becoming government contractors with defense industry leaders like General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB).

Registration is open to all businesses and individuals interested in learning more about procurement opportunities at GDEB. All attendees must pre-register; no walk-ins will be admitted.
