The Emerging Technology Center (ETC) is a non-profit business incubator program, with two individual incubator facilities, geared toward growing early stage technology-based companies in Baltimore City. As part of the Baltimore Development Corporation, we promote economic development by providing these companies with business, technical and networking connections through our wealth of resources to help smooth their path from concept to profitability.

ETC participants share space and administrative services in our two incubator facilities located in Baltimore's Digital Harbor. The facilities offer fully wired office space for technology companies in an open environment at reasonable rates. Assisting companies to grow and prosper is our objective. The participants have access to a full menu of customized business and technical advice and assistance geared toward the special needs of each individual firm. In addition, the incubator provides an environment in which like-minded start-up technology companies can accelerate their growth potential through partnerships, joint ventures and other collaborations. So, whether it's a concept to evolve into a business, or an early-stage business interested in being a part of Baltimore's hot technology community, the ETC will help.

Companies
Although diverse in their products and services, all ETC participants have one common goal - to transform ideas into market successes. The ETC collaborates with each company to discover the right resources that complement and extend their individual core competencies.

ETC Facilities
Our facilities are meccas for creative collaboration. The companies that share our space foster the spirit of cooperation and the common goal of market viability.
