Baltimore, MD — [November, 6 2025] — BioBuzz has been awarded funding from TEDCO’s Equitech Growth Fund to launch MOORE-Bio (Mobilizing Opportunity & Outreach for Regional Excellence in Bio) — a statewide initiative designed to catalyze Maryland’s life sciences ecosystem by connecting inclusive talent supply with industry demand.
Through the MOORE-Bio initiative, BioBuzz will build a stronger, more connected infrastructure for Maryland’s bioeconomy — combining digital tools, community programming, and storytelling to create equitable access to jobs, career growth, and business opportunities across the state.
What the Program Will Deliver:
- Maryland Life Sciences Hub & Two-Sided Talent Marketplace – A digital platform integrating media, events, and hiring to connect Maryland’s biotech employers with skilled talent — from students and apprentices to consultants, fractional executives, and full-time professionals.
- Workforce Enablement Solutions – Programs that partner with community colleges, HBCUs, and training organizations to create clear pathways into high-tech and biomanufacturing careers.
- Strategic Community Building – Partnerships with incubators, VCs, and workforce organizations to strengthen the statewide ecosystem and accelerate company recruitment, expansion, and collaboration.
- Storytelling & PR Campaigns – Impact-driven content that amplifies Maryland’s biotech success stories, attracts new talent, and positions Maryland as a national leader in inclusive innovation.
Backed by partnerships with organizations like ETC Baltimore, PerryLabs, Kymanox, BluZone Bio, and Women in Bio – Capital Region, the MOORE-Bio program will advance the Equitech Growth Commission’s 2040 vision for Maryland to become a globally competitive, inclusive innovation economy.
Why It Matters:
Maryland’s life sciences industry employs over 52,000 people across 2,700 companies, yet recent layoffs and skill-gaps threaten growth. MOORE-Bio will help reverse that trend by creating equitable pathways for underrepresented talent, strengthening connections between employers and educators, and amplifying Maryland’s brand as a destination for biotech innovation.
