In a fireside chat titled “The Next-Gen Arsenal, Fueled by Small Business”, U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler spoke with James Mismash, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Growth, about the importance of synchronizing efforts to cut bureaucratic red tape, streamline transition pipelines, and empower small manufacturers to expand their production lines. This set the stage for a major announcement later in the day: the reestablishment of the Smaller War Plants Commission, a move designed to surge capital and expertise to support the innovative entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and workers expanding America’s defense industrial base.
