The Maryland Department of Commerce and local Startup Grind chapters prioritized biotech and health innovation, as well as Maryland’s greatest population centers, in the octet of companies they will send to next week’s Startup Grind Global Conference.
The full roster for the delegation to Silicon Valley was announced last week as another Commerce Department-supported event filled with medtech companies — the MedTech Innovator Accelerator’s three-day East Coast Pitch Event — wrapped up at venues in Baltimore’s Downtown and Port Covington neighborhoods.
