What Maryland entrepreneurs learned at the first TEDCO tech fair

Some of the largest tech companies in the country met with a variety of Maryland entrepreneurs on Monday to answer questions about how their technology can help startups at the inaugural Maryland Technology Development Corp. (TEDCO) Tech Fair. Representatives from Microsoft, Google, PayPal, TikTok, Meta, Amazon, Ebay and Square all showcased how their companies could help small businesses and startups. The event in College Park gave many startups the chance to spruce up their understanding of how to use social media as a tool to promote their business or to ensure the safety of data stored in the cloud. TEDCO CEO Troy LeMaile-Stovall said the festival was an opportunity for small businesses to get close access to large companies that can often be difficult to reach.
