“Montgomery County is home to one of the smartest and most innovative workforces in the country,” said Economic Development Committee Chair Fani-González. “At the Economic Development Committee and in partnership with the County Executive and local business leaders, we have been working hard to better connect these bright minds with the technical, marketing and financial resources to bring their innovations to the market. This webinar will be a fantastic opportunity for displaced federal workers and any others to learn more about our innovation ecosystem and get plugged in.”
