HCEDA Executive Vice President Vernon Thompson commented, “Our discussions with Manuel and Henning included our MOU with Fraunhofer USA CESE and plans for collaboration with the County’s rich cybersecurity and technology community as well as Fraunhofer USA CESE’s planned presence at the County’s new Innovation Center. Manuel described Fraunhofer IESE’s ‘MyData Control Technology,’ which we think would be of great interest to the technology and government communities back in the U.S. We thank Fraunhofer USA CESE for helping us make these introductions, Manuel, Henning, and Birgit for taking the time to meet with us, and we extend an open invitation for them to visit us in Howard County, Maryland, in the near future.”
