The Hampton Roads Playbook

In a global environment defined by remilitarizing, reshoring, and re-energizing, competitive advantage belongs to regions that align their assets with emerging national priorities. Hampton Roads, Virginia is built for this moment. For decades, Hampton Roads anchored America’s defense and global trade. Today, it stands at the center of a reshaped economic order — one driven by Defense, Energy, Aerospace, and Logistics (DEAL). 

The Hampton Roads Playbook aligns one of America’s most strategically positioned coastal regions around these four high growth industries. From expanding submarine production capacity and accelerating autonomous systems to strengthening maritime infrastructure and advancing next-generation energy, the Playbook is aligning capital, policy, and partnerships behind disciplined execution and building an integrated industrial ecosystem designed for resilience, scale, and sustained competitiveness.
