University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) graduates are some of the most sought-after graduates in the country – Maryland is the No. 1 state for technology and science workforce and second in graduate or professional degree attainment. The state is also the second-largest recipient of federal funding in Maryland and 10th in the nation among public universities, according to Ken Porter, director of UM Ventures for UMCP.
UMCP is one of five universities working in partnership with TEDCO as part of our Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII), established in 2012 as a technology transfer program with the goal to grow and accelerate promising technologies through venture creation. Porter is a member of the MII board.
