Through TEDCO and NASA’s formal partnership, technology transfer will continue to grow and serve as a way to advance Maryland’s promising technology economy. [Goddard’s innovations] provide the state’s technology companies and entrepreneurs opportunities to conduct further research and development in order to develop products that can enter the public marketplace. Renée Winsky, Interim Executive Director, TEDCO (with Orlando Figueroa, Director of Goddard’s Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate)

The mission of the Maryland Technology Development Corp. (TEDCO*) is to facilitate the creation of businesses and foster their growth in all regions of the state through the commercialization of technology. This mission is closely aligned with the goals of the IPP Office. By working together, the IPP Office can leverage Maryland’s investment in technology-based economic development for the benefit of NASA as well as the state. The agreement with TEDCO is designed to serve as a valuable link between Maryland companies looking to benefit from Goddard’s capabilities and technologies. The agreement enables local industry and universities both to utilize Goddard R&D and to help achieve NASA missions faster and more cost-effectively. The first activity under this agreement is for both organizations to hold a Technology Partnering Showcase.
