Baltimore, MD (MMD Newswire) January 4, 2013 -- The fourth edition of the Baltimore Business Review reports that despite the challenges of an economic recession, Maryland leads the nation in its transformation to an entrepreneurial and innovation-based economy. According to the regional journal, assets like state-sponsored financing initiatives, access to business incubators and federal institutions, and an ideal geographic location all contribute to making Maryland a top state for innovation and entrepreneurship.
