Johns Hopkins University's Rockville campus is launching a technology commercialization and entrepreneurship program based on a similar initiative at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, that officials said has led to the creation of more than 25 companies since its inception in 2005.
The program — called Innovate! — will take 15 business executives and 15 post-doctoral entrepreneurs through the process of evaluating a technology product's commercial potential and starting a business around that product over about a year's time. The products will be from the National Institutes of Health, Hopkins and other research institutions and federal agencies.
