The Emerging Technology Centers (ETC) is a non-profit business incubator program, with two individual incubator facilities, geared toward growing early stage technology-based companies in Baltimore city. As part of the Baltimore Development Corporation, ETC promotes economic development by providing companies with business, technical and networking connections through a wealth of resources to help smooth their path from concept to profitability. Located in the Canton Can Company complex, the ETC building houses the administrative headquarters of the centers and emerging IT related companies. The building's inviting environment and warmth provide a sense of community to all who share its space.
ETC participants share space and administrative services with one of three facilities in the City of Baltimore. The facilities offer fully wired office space for IT/wireless companies in an open environment and valuable wet lab space for biotech companies at below market rates. The participants have access to a full menu of customized business and technological advice and assistance geared toward the special needs of each individual firm. More than an opportunity for growth of individual companies, the incubator provides an environment in which like-minded start-up technology companies can accelerate their growth potential through partnerships, joint ventures and other collaborations.
