Client Interaction Survey

As part of our commitment to supporting your success, bwtech requests your participation in the Client Interaction Survey (CIS). This survey, conducted twice yearly, provides bwtech@UMBC with valuable information about the companies in the Research Parks. The collected data is crucial for our funding, grant applications, and various reports. Please be assured that the information you provide will remain confidential. Your insights are vital to our continued efforts to enhance our programs and services. This survey focuses on the past six (6) months. Please provide answers based on data from January to June 2024. The CIS should take no more than 5 – 10 minutes of your time and so we ask you to complete the survey no later than Monday, Aug 5, 2024. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Brenda Jackson at [email protected]. Thank you for your time and cooperation.
