MTI Workshops
Evidence has shown that innovative companies that get seed capital along with intensive and focused guidance during their early stage will more likely become businesses with high growth and high return prospects. We have also learned that successful technology development does not necessarily insure a successful company and job creation. MTI invites you to attend GROW workshops, call on GROW advisors, and take advantage of the mentoring, and training opportunities available to you.
Please register for any of the upcoming workshops or webinars:
Business Innovation Program Workshops and Webinars:
