PMO Advisory Project Management Training
coming to Washington D.C.
in September & October 2019
Major Industries and Commercial Activity: The D.C. Chamber of Commerce characterizes the local economy as diversifying and growing, though still narrowly specialized and externally driven. The Washington area ranks first among all national metropolitan areas in federal procurement dollars. People often think of Washington, D.C. as a “company town” where most people work for the federal government or work for companies who rely on government contracts. However the outlying suburbs of Washington D.C, in Maryland and Northern Virginia is where defense and intelligence contracts are a major source of business. Proximity to the Pentagon clearly has a lot to do with why defense companies locate their headquarters in northern Virginia and Maryland. Local defense contractors include Lockheed Martin, the largest, as well as Raytheon, General Dynamics, BAE Systems, Northrup Grumman,Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), CACI, and Orbital Sciences Corporation. The Washington metropolitan area has a significant biotechnology industry; companies with a major presence in the region as of 2011 include Merck, Pfizer, Human Genome Sciences, Martek Biosciences, MedImmune and Qiagen. Both PgMP and PfMP Certified Professionals enjoy strong demand in varied industries in the greater Washington D.C./Northern Virginia economy.
