We were honored to welcome a delegation of Ethiopian Public University Research Administrators as part of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and the World Trade Center Institute.

During their visit, our bwtech team — Marjie Cota, Aaron Miscenich, Fehmida Kapadia, and David Fink — joined by UMBC’s Vice Provost for Global Engagement, David Di Maria, Ed.D., shared how we help transform groundbreaking research and innovative ideas from UMBC into thriving, sustainable businesses that drive local economic development.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas and share our work with such an engaged group of global leaders! At bwtech@UMBC, we’re proud to be part of a community that values knowledge-sharing, innovation, and inclusive economic growth.
