Why Choose Dorchester?
"Spent a couple of months working here when I was in town and thoroughly enjoyed it! Miss Tina is fantastic, and everyone here is friendly and helpful. Steady wifi, printing, coffee and snacks. What more could you ask for?"-- Kim Coulthurst
"The experience with ESIC was outstanding from beginning to end. From the initial coordination to the amazing onsite support. The innovation center met all the needs of our meeting including the use of a spacious conference room and state of the art audio/visual equipment. Our group of federal employees from the National Capital Region spent the full day without concern of noise or interruption. We were able to effectively conduct our business in a comfortable, secured setting. ESIC was extremely accommodating offering use of their full-size break room, ample free parking and full availability of the center manager to address all of our needs. Our group would absolutely return for future meetings and have added ESIC to our preferred meeting space providers." -- Catrice Stewart
"This place is amazing. Came for the coworking space, and the place is super clean and welcoming. Great place to come if you need a change of pace from working remotely."Viet Nguyen
"IES Life Sciences has been a Licensee (tenant) of the Eastern Shore Innovation Center (ESIC). The physical resources at ESIC along with coaching and mentoring--finding experts when you have a particular need or question, were a big help in allowing our business to grow. The management team at ESIC take an interest in not only promoting cross pollination of the businesses at ESIC, but making it feel like a community where all businesses take top priority. ESIC is one of the key features for growing business in Dorchester County and having spoken with entrepreneurs from other locations, many wish that a business incubator with such caring staff and services could be available to them."David A. Spiegel, CEO, IES Life Sciences, Inc.
"I think of the Eastern Shore Innovation Center as my Productivity Destination. The co-working space is warm, welcoming, and well-stocked. The management team at the Innovation Center are always friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The other entrepreneurs I meet are all working in hard and inspiring fashion on fascinating projects that are all over the map. My business takes me here, there, and everywhere on the Delmarva Peninsula, but this is my ideal place to get things done and moving forward." Jim Duffy, Writer, Secrets of the Eastern Shore
"Terrific place to get advice and direction if starting a business in Dorchester County Maryland."Lynn Rouda
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the co-working space. I lease at the Eastern Shore Innovation Center. This state-of-the-art facility provides great internet service, an excellent working environment, and space options that are very reasonably priced. The very welcoming staff goes out of its way to accommodate whatever is requested. This is a true gem for Cambridge, Dorchester County and the mid-shore region and I highly recommend it."Gene Lauer, Eugene Lauer Consulting
"The Eastern Shore Innovation Center has helpful and accommodating staff, a bright and modern space, high speed internet and anything else you could need to incubate a tech startup on the Eastern Shore. I highly recommend visiting!"Chris LeFevre, Confit Web Design & Development
"Dorchester is home. I returned after college and dove into our family business. There is an authentic sense of community here - a general "get the job done" attitude. Combined with the natural balance of four distinct seasons, access to the Choptank River and waterways, and more seafood, farms and wildlife than you can shake a stick at, I'd say it's a pretty great place to live."Travis Todd, Co-OwnerOcean Odyssey Restaurant
"I enjoy working in Dorchester because there are an increasing number of millennials relocating, building lives and thriving here. There is a great deal of potential to reach your professional and personal goals, live the dream and leave your mark."Chris Brisco, Financial SpecialistQuevera
