Frederick, MD – October 3, 2024 – The Frederick Innovative Technology Center, Inc. (FITCI) is pleased to
announce its 20th anniversary celebration on October 17, 2024, at 5:00 PM. Join us for a memorable evening as we commemorate two decades of fostering entrepreneurship and innovation in Frederick County.
Since its launch in 2004, FITCI has been a singular resource for startups and emerging entrepreneurs in the science and technology sectors. Over the years, what began as a visionary public-private initiative, hosted by Hood College, has evolved into a vibrant hub of innovation – growing from just 6 labs and 4 offices into a multi-branch powerbase for more than 70 current clients, 200+ graduates/members served, and a 500+ member ecosystem linked to an innovation community hub with 32 private labs, 45 offices, multiple shared labs with 26 benches, professionally equipped common labs, and 1 CORE lab for education and training. This remarkable growth reflects FITCI’s unwavering commitment to making essential resources accessible and supporting this community’s entrepreneurs in ways designed to get them from start to success.
FITCI’s 20th anniversary event highlights this incredible journey. It is a celebration of all the entrepreneurs and partners who have been integral to our success. Attendees will enjoy an evening filled with engaging conversations, inspiring stories, and a look back at the markers that have shaped FITCI’s legacy, along with delectable food and drinks.
