In partnership with the Office of County Executive Calvin Ball, the Howard County Economic Development Authority (HCEDA) have joined forces with Hutch, presented by Fearless Institute, to expand GovTech opportunities for businesses and residents in Howard County. Hutch now operates a regional office at the Maryland Innovation Center (MIC) and is collaborating with us to support GovTech companies. These companies will receive tailored assistance to scale and grow. Two local businesses—DataSynch and Gen Y Technology, a member of MIC—are currently part of the Hutch 2025 Cohort. Additionally, Hutch Launch, a bootcamp powered by HCEDA, is helping professionals and aspiring entrepreneurs transition into the GovTech market. This partnership enhances access to valuable resources and creates new opportunities for local firms to compete in the federal marketplace. |
