Southern Maryland Innovates

Southern Maryland Innovates (formerly SMIT) ignites and fuels tech entrepreneurship by fostering an inclusive and collaborative ecosystem in Southern Maryland. We meet in Southern Maryland, Maryland’s fastest growing Tech Hub, where technologists are 3.5 times more concentrated than in the rest of the nation. This is your place to interact with innovators, showcase promising ventures, and learn principles and methods to accelerate market success.

We aim to be the connective hub between various groups that represent a casual and high impact opportunity to meet people interested in innovation, technology and entrepreneurship in Southern Maryland.

Southern Maryland Innovates brings together entrepreneurs, inventors, developers, researchers, mentors, investors and the broader entrepreneurial community on the second Thursday of most months.
