Today I had the pleasure of attending the 2014 Entrepreneur Expo presented by TEDCO. There were over 500 attendees who were all part of the vibrant Maryland start-up ecosystem. I had a great time networking with many of the biotech companies in attendance and was honored to be a MERL speaker in the “Meeting Movers, Shakers and Other Influencers” session for Life Sciences. I was also a panel member in the “Best Money In Town: Winning SBIRs” session. I counted six concurrent sessions running through the entire day, plus the open exhibit/booth hall. It was, in fact, impossible to take advantage of all the opportunities. Next year I will have to send more people, to have ears at multiple sessions!
In his first public speaking engagement since election, Maryland Governor-Elect Larry Hogan made closing remarks at the Entrepreneur Expo. He had very optimistic words for the start-up community. Saying, “You’re going to be a priority for us. Something we are going to focus on like a laser beam. We are going to work very closely with TECDO; with all you great entrepreneurs in the room. As of Jan. 21, Maryland will be open for business.” I see this as an indicator that the new governor will support our start-up business through TEDCO and other initiatives such as the Invest Maryland Challenge and the Maryland Innovation Initiative.
Kudos to TEDCO for offering such a top-notch event for the start-up community!
