Maryland - It's Better Here: Maryland Momentum

Fueling the Future of Life Sciences in Maryland

Maryland Tech Council Season 1 Episode 2

In this powerful kickoff to the Maryland Momentum podcast, Maryland Tech Council (MTC) CEO Kelly Schulz sits down with Brad Stewart, Chair of the MTC Board and U.S. Life Sciences Leader at BDO, to talk about what’s driving growth in Maryland’s life sciences sector—and what’s holding it back.

Together, they unpack the vision behind BioHub Maryland, MTC's workforce initiative aimed at solving the state’s talent pipeline crisis in biomanufacturing. From the groundbreaking partnership with Ireland’s NIBRT to the real-life impact on veterans, students, and career switchers, Brad explains why this program is a game-changer—not just for Maryland, but for the entire region.

Tune in to hear how Maryland is leading the way with purpose-built training, industry alignment, and an ecosystem that’s redefining workforce development in biotech.
