DCNeXT (formerly the MIT Enterprise Forum - Washington-Baltimore chapter) promotes the growth, education, and success of the entrepreneur and business community of the greater Washington & Baltimore area. A non-profit, volunteer organization, it provides exceptional quality events that are open to the public. Its many programs are targeted to local start-ups, high technology businesses, venture capitalists, angels, and the professionals who support them. Enterprise Forum activities provide excellent time-proven opportunities for the best networking in the area and for generating great ideas for growing and building high technology companies. Several companies that have presented at the Enterprise Forum have subsequently grown to become highly successful enterprises. The local chapter is one of a network of over 25 worldwide chapters of the Enterprise Forum, which was created as an outreach educational program of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.).
