“Creating jobs and growing our business sector is a cornerstone of my administration, and witnessing the accomplishments of local businesses reflect the hard work and persistence of Maryland’s highly-skilled workforce,” said Governor Hogan of his visit to Roboteam Inc. “Roboteam is a great American company that develops technology for law enforcement and our U.S. military, and I am proud to see such groundbreaking technological innovation thrive in our state.”

During his recent visit to the U.S. headquarters, Governor Hogan met Roboteam’s staff, 95 percent of which are military veterans, and witnessed Roboteam’s commitment to creating jobs in the state of Maryland for military veterans. Additionally, Governor Hogan got hands-on experience in Roboteam’s technical lab with several tactical robotics.

We will continue to develop revolutionary and trusted technology to support the military and law enforcement as well as create jobs in Maryland.”

Since taking office, Hogan’s administration has been committed to making Maryland “Open for Business,” with nearly 100,000 new jobs created since January 2015.
