SUMMARY:UpSurge Momentum: What Drives the Ecosystem Forward
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore’s innovation economy doesn’t move in a straight line. Every year\, we see breakthroughs and bottlenecks\, big exits and persistent gaps\, founders who landed the big win while others keep fighting for the resources to get there. UpSurge Baltimore takes a clear-eyed look at this state of affairs every year — and\, through all the change\, find plenty to celebrate. \nJoin us on May 19 for UpSurge Momentum\, our latest annual event at which we’ll highlight findings from the 2026 Greater Baltimore Ecosystem Report. Coming on the heels of the Greater Baltimore Committee’s State of the Region and Investment Summit events\, this convening will offer our most comprehensive look yet at the investment trends\, startup growth\, workforce dynamics\, and structural challenges shaping the region’s innovation future. \nBut data alone doesn’t move a region forward. Partnerships play an outsized role. \n\n\nThat thread runs through this year’s report — and it’s why we’ve partnered up with Flywheel\, the Locust Point-based marketing technology company whose trajectory tells you something important about what’s possible here. Acquired by communications giant Omnicom in 2023 for $835 million and working with major brands like Under Armour and McCormick\, Flywheel has built the kind of institutional relationships that turn promising startups into enduring companies. They’ll lead a hands-on workshop on leveraging AI to grow your business\, and join a conversation about what strategic partnership has done for them — and what it can unlock for you. \nWe’ll do all of this inside the Fearless Club at CFG Bank Arena— the premium lounge named for one of Baltimore’s tentpole startups\, inside another success story for downtown Baltimore’s commercial health.

SUMMARY:Inflection Point Healthcare Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Inflection Point Healthcare Summit brings together leaders across healthcare\, technology\, and policy to explore how value-based care and emerging technologies\, including Artificial Intelligence\, are transforming healthcare delivery. With Maryland’s all-payer model as a national testbed\, the summit will focus on how aligned incentives can drive innovation\, better outcomes\, and sustainable costs. \nMaryland is in the midst of the most substantial value-based care experiment in the country\, via its all-payer system. This economic model will fund AI and other innovative healthcare technology. As Maryland succeeds\, the rest of the country will follow. \nWhy Attend?\n\nFor Health System\, Health Plan\, and Clinical Leaders: The status quo in healthcare in not sustainable and the Maryland rate setting system creates unique challenges and opportunities. The inflection point summit is an opportunity to learn from your peers\, policy makers and innovators about pressures and opportunities to inform your plans for the months and years ahead.\nFor Policymakers: As representatives of patients and citizens\, this is a great opportunity to voice your positions – and pressures – to a curated audience of health system\, health plan\, business and technology leaders.\nFor Innovators: This is a unique opportunity to listen and learn about the challenges of enterprise customers and policy makers\, and about the unique opportunities afforded by the Maryland model.\n\nView Agenda >>

SUMMARY:The Ecosystem Linkup: Founders & Friends Edition
DESCRIPTION:The summer heat might’ve slowed your body down\, but it’s done nothing to the steady clip of meetups where entrepreneurs\, funders\, developers\, engineers\, students\, and more of our ecosystem’s driving players make their work happen. \nIn Baltimore and its surrounding counties\, these tech-focused meetups — often organized by volunteers who give their time for the love of building something awesome — are where a lot of the most exciting activity actually takes place. Someone shares what they’re developing\, and a few months later\, it can become a new platform or even a venture to back. These communities have quietly become some of the region’s landing pads for early-stage founders\, and this iteration of our Ecosystem Linkup puts some of their organizers on stage to discuss how they built spaces that work for anyone curious about tech — not just people who can code. \nJoin us at Towson University’s StarTUp at the Armory space for a panel conversation with Valentine Okundaye (Code & Coffee)\, Cornelius Hairston (Baltimore Tech Meetup)\, and Khalif Cooper (Soulhause Events)\, as well as other potential meetup leaders TBD. Founder Daniel Kai of Palava Hut will moderate. Afterwards\, stick around to network with founders\, meetup regulars\, and the organizations that support them over light refreshments.
