TEDCO and OST Global Solutions rolled out the red carpet to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the SBIR/STTR Proposal Lab program and honor the journeys of the participants who’ve conquered the program.
The celebration, which also included the program’s fifth year supporting entrepreneurs, was held Sept. 26, 2023, at the Maryland Innovation Center in Columbia.
The event focused on highlighting accomplishments of the Proposal Lab’s talented participants who have completed the program, where dreams took flight, ideas became reality, and innovation thrived. Attendees included veteran cohort members from the inaugural 2019 cohort up through the most recent graduates from the 2023 cohort, to commemorate this momentous event.
The event offered entrepreneurs the chance to mingle with the best and brightest minds in the game, connect with the TEDCO team who continue shaping the innovation landscape and reconnect with past guest speakers who ignited sparks of genius.
