COLUMBIA, Md., (November 20, 2024) TEDCO, Maryland’s economic engine for technology companies, announced an upcoming session for its upcoming Entrepreneur Expo taking place December 4, 2024 at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel. The panel, titled the “Regional Approach to Entrepreneurship – ‘When Innovation Isn’t Enough,’” will be led by Emerging Technology Center (ETC) executive director, Arti Santhanam, PhD.  

“The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way companies do business, particularly those in the life sciences,” said Santhanam. “However, through the responsive community, this change has led to diverse opportunities, new capital landscape and differences in lab to market approach. This panel will allow individuals to hear from some industry experts during the discussion as we dive into the changes seen and how they are affecting the landscape today.”

In addition to discussions surrounding the recent pandemic’s impact on the life sciences industry, the panelists will discuss the ongoing challenges faced as innovation continues to evolve, the new opportunities available to researchers and innovators alike and how our regional ecosystem is adapting to the new reality. The informative discussion will be held by those directly impacted by this changing landscape, including:
