Entrepreneurship is growing in Maryland
According to the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, the state of Maryland ranks second in on the "Index of Growth Entrepreneurship." The index focuses on how much U.S. entrepreneurial businesses are growing in the state. And if you narrow the focus to the Baltimore metropolitan area, we rank seventeenth among the 40 regions identified in the index in terms of "startup activity."
