Our Community

Environmental and Biotech Companies

Harbor Launch at the Institute of Marine and Environmental Technology (IMET) is community for early-stage companies working to positively impact the environment and/or human health. Harbor Launch connects companies with the resources of its partner institutions (UMCES, UMBC, and UMB) and the University System of Maryland.

Harbor Launch companies leverage IMET's world-class researchers. Their expertise includes microbiology, molecular genetic analysis and biotechnology, using marine life to develop new drug therapies, alternative energy and other innovations to improve public health and economic opportunities. IMET also contributes to sustainable marine aquaculture and fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay and marine ecosystems.

Office spaces and small wet labs are available.
