Help Shape the Future of North Carolina’s Maritime Defense Industry

Defense Maritime Industrial Base (DMIB) Survey

As a North Carolina business, your input is vital to strengthening North Carolina’s role in the Defense Maritime Industrial Base (DMIB). The purpose of this survey is to better understand the capabilities, challenges, and future needs of businesses like yours that support or could support shipbuilding, repair, advanced manufacturing, logistics, and other maritime defense activities.

By sharing your insights, you will help identify workforce gaps, supply chain opportunities, and areas where collaboration with federal, state, and industry partners can make the most impact. The results will guide regional initiatives such as the NC Maritime Manufacturing Initiative, as well as inform engagement with national efforts such as Department of Defense supply chain programs.

Your responses will remain confidential and will be used only in aggregate to shape strategies that support your growth, competitiveness, and long-term success in the defense maritime ecosystem.
