Let’s stop the worrying right now. Baltimore city has its own network of growing innovation clusters.
That doesn’t take anything away from the county or the rest of Maryland or the broader mid-Atlantic region, for that matter. It’s just that it needs to be said that Baltimore’s old urban core is having a revival — and technology, creative and web businesses are playing a real role.
That’s why, with the help of the Downtown Partnership, you can find on the back cover of the Baltimore Innovation Week print magazine this map highlighting some 70 such businesses that are taking root in familiar neighborhoods.
You can get a copy and visit a couple stops on the map at next week’s Innovation Crawl, which comes just before our huge kickoff festival for the fourth annual Baltimore Innovation Week.
