Ten local companies are joining Lt. Governor Boyd Rutherford and the Maryland Department of Commerce this week on a trip to MEDICA 2021, the world's largest medical trade show held every year in Dusseldorf, Germany. This is the 11th year that Maryland – through Commerce's Office of International Investment and Trade – has participated in the global trade show as part of a continuing strategy to boost trade and promote Maryland to overseas businesses.
