The new partnership, to be named the Chesapeake Crescent Innovation Alliance, will examine areas of potential cooperation in regional centers of excellence, entrepreneurial development, early-stage investment, and technology transfer.
Participating institutions include Johns Hopkins University, Virginia Tech University, the University of Maryland system, George Mason University, and George Washington University......
