We continue to stand in support of our friends and family in Israel, all while providing services for Israeli businesses and helping the economy there and in Maryland. We currently have 43 Israeli companies in Maryland ranging from life sciences to cyber, defense and other sectors. There are several new companies that are setting up a presence in Maryland, one of which is featured in this newsletter.
On September 4, I had the honor to be featured on a panel titled “Dilutive and Sources of Support”, which was part of a larger conference sponsored by The National Cancer Institute (part of the National Institutes of Health) and The Frederick National Laboratory. The four panelists each brought different perspectives for startups including venture capital, stem cell research grants and the support of large nationwide research foundations. We continue to highlight Maryland as one of the best places in the U.S. to expand internationally, particularly given the connections we have to NIH, other federal agencies, academia and the private sector.
