The Illinois Defense Manufacturing Consortium (ILDMC) brings together stakeholders from industry, community, government, and academia to strengthen Illinois’ defense resilience.
With its active DoD installations and diverse industrial base, Illinois has strong links to the military and the companies and people that support it. Using a data-driven approach to quantifying the breadth of the Illinois defense sector, as well as its potential vulnerability amid changing defense spending landscape, the ILDMC partners work together to strengthen local defense manufacturing industries in four key regions through efforts including workforce development, supply chain management, innovation, and cybersecurity awareness.
