AI platform company Cloudforce plans to expand its operations in Prince George’s County, Maryland. The project is expected to create 250 jobs over the next five years.

The company will lease an additional 15,000 square feet of office space at National Harbor as it scales its secure artificial intelligence platform for higher education and public-sector customers.

“The truth is, our success has been powered by the people, partners, and community that welcomed us when we planted roots in Maryland,” said Cloudforce Founder and CEO Husein Sharaf. “When it came time to grow, we had every option on the table, including markets across state lines and across the country. We chose to double down here instead, because we’d rather strengthen the place that helped build us than start over somewhere new. That means more great jobs, deeper investment in this community, and a company culture rooted in bringing our people together in one place.”

To support the project the company is eligible for a $1.25 million conditional loan through Advantage Maryland, administered by the Maryland Department of Commerce.

“We’re very proud to have an innovative, forward-thinking company like Cloudforce choose to expand in Maryland,” noted Maryland Department of Commerce Secretary Harry Coker, Jr. “Not only is the Cloudforce team creating good jobs for our residents and supporting career pathways for students and recent graduates, they are providing their business clients the solutions they need to succeed and thrive in an ever-changing world.”

The Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation is also offering a $125,000 conditional loan through its Economic Development Incentive Fund. Cloudforce may additionally qualify for state and local tax credits, including the Job Creation Tax Credit.

“The Prince George’s County Economic Development Corporation is excited to see Cloudforce Group continue its growth by expanding its headquarters in Prince George’s County,” added Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Ingrid Watson. “This investment reflects the confidence innovative technology companies have in our business environment and will contribute to the County’s commercial economy through job creation, business expansion, and increased local tax revenue.”

Cloudforce is an AI platform and cloud technology company that develops secure artificial intelligence solutions for higher education, government, and other public-sector organizations.
