Advancing Biomanufacturing on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and the Delmarva

Facility, Soft Landing, and Accelerator programs powering biotech innovation.

What We Do

F3 Tech supports late-stage companies in the AgTech, CyberAg, Renewable Energy and AgBioTech sectors with advanced business advisory services. The program is an initiative of the Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center and supported by the U.S. Economic Development Administration.

Biomanufacturing Facility

Our pilot-scale biomanufacturing facility gives startups enterprise-level labs and equipment to refine processes, validate products, and accelerate commercialization—bridging the “innovation valley of death” and enabling globally competitive solutions.

Soft Landing

Soft Landing

Our Soft Landing program helps international and national startups enter the U.S. market with lab space, mentorship, and direct connections to investors, institutions, and policymakers. Located near D.C. and key regulatory agencies, it reduces barriers and de-risks expansion into the U.S. biotech landscape.

Accelerator

Our six-month accelerator moves later-stage startups from proven innovation to market impact with mentorship, technical guidance, and investor access. With alumni raising $100M+ in follow-on funding, it prepares companies to scale, secure customers, and attract strategic partners.

Accelerate the Evolution of Industry

The aim of our industry collaboration program is to coordinate the needs of leading sector sponsors with that of equally impressive innovators. Industry needs innovative solutions to remain competitive. Innovators need collaboration with industry to focus discovery.
