Prince George’s Chamber Of Commerce To Celebrate Innovators at 2025 Excellence in Business Awards

 Prince George’s County is gearing up to shine a spotlight on its boldest innovators at the highly anticipated 2025 Excellence in Business Awards Gala, hosted by the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce, on Friday, October 3, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the MGM Hotel & Casino in National Harbor.

This year’s theme, “Imagine the Impossible… Elevate, Innovate, Inspire,” sets the stage for honoring business leaders and organizations that are breaking barriers, driving progress, and shaping the county’s economic future.

Among the distinguished honorees is the Quantum Startup Foundry at the University of Maryland, named Economic Transformation Team of the Year. The Foundry has become a cornerstone of regional innovation, connecting world-class researchers, students, and industry partners to turn groundbreaking discoveries into real-world solutions. From fueling the economy and creating high-value jobs to positioning Prince George’s County as a national hub for quantum technology, their work exemplifies the power of innovation to transform communities.

Sponsored by the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce, the gala is more than an awards ceremony — it is a celebration of visionaries who are reimagining what’s possible across industries. Guests will join business leaders, community stakeholders, and changemakers in applauding achievements that not only elevate Prince George’s County but also inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.

As the county honors its trailblazers, the night promises to highlight how local ingenuity is driving global impact — proving that in Prince George’s County, the impossible is only the beginning.
