We help faculty, student, and regional entrepreneurs create successful ventures. We help companies solve vital challenges and develop top-selling products by connecting them with the resources they need to succeed. Our results: among our core programs, we have had a $22.5 billion impact on the Maryland economy since Top-selling products such as MedImmune s Synagis, which protects infants from a deadly respiratory disease, and Hughes Communications HughesNet, which brings satellite-based, high-speed Internet access to lessdeveloped countries and rural areas, were developed through or enhanced by our programs. Billion dollar companies such as Martek Biosciences and Digene TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM CorporationADVANCEMENT trace their origins to our incubator.
