TEDCO’s Concept Capital program was created to provide critical early-stage funding for tech companies in need of assistance to further launch and grow their business, allowing Maryland to become a hub for entrepreneurial success.

TEDCO’s 11th Entrepreneur Expo will be held on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at The Hotel at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD. The Expo is a premier event in Maryland showcasing various resources from across the State and is jam-packed full of workshops, roundtable discussions, and exhibiting companies, opening up great opportunities for entrepreneurs to network, learn, and be inspired.

The selected firm will conduct a focus group of local ecosystem entrepreneurs and stakeholders to ensure user experience, design and overall functionality match their needs. The final product will create an efficient tool for Maryland entrepreneurs, with a more condensed and visually appealing directory that allows TEDCO to further support the state’s economic growth.

The Rising Stars Award celebrates young professionals who are excelling in their careers while inspiring others through innovation, collaboration and a deep commitment to service. Choi’s dedication to TEDCO’s mission of fostering entrepreneurship in the state played a key role in his selection. Chosen from a competitive pool of more than 100 nominees, Choi stood out for his exceptional leadership, strategic vision and impact within Maryland’s innovation ecosystem.
