SUMMARY:How the Port in the 757 Drives Middle Market Growth for Virginia
DESCRIPTION:John Asbury\, President and CEO of Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation and Board Director\, Virginia Port Authority \nStephen Edwards\, CEO and Executive Director\, Virginia Port Authority\n\nhttps://www.portofvirginia.com/\n\nIn 2019\, CNBC ranked Virginia as the #1 state for business\, and The Port of Virginia plays a key role in Virginia’s ability to serve those businesses. In a larger sense\, The Port of Virginia is doing everything necessary to become the U.S. East Coast’s leading gateway for global trade for the next several decades and to make Virginia the #1 place for businesses in the country.\nAccording to an economic impact study conducted by the Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary\, 390\,000 Virginia jobs – nearly ten percent of the state’s resident workforce – are linked to port activity across our six terminals. Those jobs generate $23 billion in annual compensation and $2.1 billion in state and local taxes.\nBetween 2015 and 2025\, the port will have invested $1.5 billion in its infrastructure – creating a network of six terminals that can handle any type of cargo. Dredges hit our waters in late 2019 and our deepening and widening efforts are in full swing. By 2024\, we’ll once again be the deepest port on the US East Coast with 55’ channels and two-way traffic for the largest vessels calling our coast.\nOur Mission\nThe Port of Virginia delivers opportunity by driving business to\, and through\, the Commonwealth.\n\nOur Vision\nThe Port of Virginia’s diverse talent\, agile use of technology\, and command of our ever-changing industry sets the pace for the supply chain of today\, while plotting the course for its tomorrow.\n\nOur Values\n\n\nInnovation – We embrace challenges as opportunities. We leverage technology and experience to move our business and our industry forward\nHelpfulness – We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. We offer assistance and are appreciative when it’s accepted – and understanding when it isn’t. We ask questions and offer our best solutions\nFortitude – We are clear in our intent\, thoughtful in our approach\, and professional in our execution\nAccessibility – We build strong\, enduring relationships with our customers by listening\, fostering dialogue\, and creating connections\nMindfulness – We drive business and deliver opportunities today while maintaining a clear vision for the future\nSustainability – We are responsible stewards of the communities in which we operate\, the relationships we foster\, and all of the resources entrusted to our care

SUMMARY:NASA Langley Quarterly Technology Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The Technology Showcase is an opportunity for members of the public to learn about patented NASA technology commercialization.\n\n\nThe Technology Showcase is an opportunity for members of the public to learn about patented NASA technology and envision how their business might benefit from our world renowned research.  Licensing a NASA technology can help your business grow and advance the commercialization of exciting new technologies.  Join us for this quarterly event to learn more.  \nSeptember 22nd – 2pm to 3pm \nWe will highlight 3 technologies applicable to the off shore wind industry.  Subject matter experts\, inventors and commercialization specialists will be on-hand to answer questions and engage in discussions surrounding commercialization opportunities. \nTechnologies will include: \n\nSurface Contamination Mitigation – NASA Langley offers an array of patented methodologies that ensure a smooth clean surface for wind turbines which could enhance longevity of equipment life expectancy and operational efficiencies.\n\n\nWind-Event Warning System – This NASA Langley invention uses a LIDAR system which can spot potentially damaging wind activities not spotted by traditional weather monitoring. These wind events can be a damaging surprise\, but advanced warning would permit feathering the blades before any damage can be done.\n\n\nDefect Detection System for Composites – NASA Langley has developed a system to monitor composites during cure that ensures a composite turbine blade meets standards without requiring a separate evaluation step in the process\, saving a blade manufacturer time between initiation and installation\, and space for quality evaluations.\n\n**Register here on Eventbrite to receive a link to the online event.
