The Chesapeake Regional Tech Council (CRTC) is excited to announce a new sustaining partnership with the Annapolis Offices at Bestgate (AOB). AOB joins the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development (MD DBED) and the Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation (AAEDC) as a Sustaining Partner of the Chesapeake Regional Tech Council. This will be a beneficial partnership for both organizations providing a new administrative headquarters for the growing CRTC and discounts on virtual office services for CRTC members as well as exposure for the executive office space at Annapolis Offices at Bestgate.
According to CRTC Executive Director Kris Valerio “We are thrilled to partner with Annapolis Offices at Bestgate. Their flexible model is an ideal match for many CRTC members and their sponsorship support of the CRTC demonstrates their commitment to helping technology companies thrive throughout the Annapolis-Washington-Baltimore tech triangle.”
