WELCOME
Welcome to Innovation Delaware, your guide to Delaware’s most inventive and creative organizations.
The companies you will read about in this issue showcase the diversity of Delaware’s innovation economy — from startups making better prostheses or hardier crops, to legacy companies working on spacesuits, autonomous vehicles or new therapies based on the human microbiome.
Delaware companies are paving the way in the areas of manufacturing, agribusiness, science, technology, health care and more. These companies represent inspiration and ingenuity through their products and services, which enhance the lives of many in Delaware and around the world. What’s more, some of Delaware’s most innovative ideas are hatching in the minds of young entrepreneurs still finishing college or even high school.
In the First State, we invite all entrepreneurs and
innovators to take advantage of the unique benefits
we have to offer. Delaware’s diverse and tight-knit
entrepreneurial communities make connections easy, and the opportunities for investment are endless, thanks to 25 Opportunity Zones across the state and a favorable business climate.
Our focus is to make Delaware a leader in an economy powered by innovation. We are committed to supporting small and large businesses, and focusing on the needs of organizations to allow them to grow and thrive here in Delaware.
Sincerely,
Governor John Carney
