This spring, the Center for Global Business worked with two clients through the Maryland Global Consulting Program, a mainstay of the Center's ongoing effort to enhance the global competitiveness of Maryland businesses. This initiative is designed to support these businesses’ expansion into international markets, reflecting the Center's commitment to making a significant impact on the state and regional economy.

The Center for Global Business offers students at the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business the opportunity to apply the skills they have developed in the classroom to real-world consulting projects.

At Maryland Smith, students have the opportunity to create tangible, real-world solutions to critical issues across the business world. And this semester, students banded together to address another pressing issue – supply chain management and disruptions.

In the fall of 2021, Maryland Smith’s Center for Global Business partnered with three Maryland companies on the Maryland Global Consulting Program. This program is an opportunity that offers Maryland-based companies the chance to work with a team of the school’s MBA or undergraduate students to address challenges companies are facing in entering the international market.
