About MTI
Qui est MTI ?
Founded and funded in 1999 by the Maine State Legislature, MTI offers grants, loans, equity investments, and services to foster Maine’s innovation economy.
We support new ideas, products, or methods with the potential to grow and diversify Maine’s economy and increase the number of quality jobs throughout the state through direct support of innovators and through support of programs and infrastructure that encourage innovation.
MTI also supports Maine’s innovation economy through event sponsorships that promote innovation and entrepreneurship in Maine. Our goal is to support and promote innovators and innovative technologies in order to generate high-quality jobs across Maine, grow and accelerate revenues, and attract and leverage additional capital or other investments.
MTI plays a key part in the State’s economic development strategy and is a significant driver in expanding research and development, creating new innovative ventures. Since its founding, MTI has distributed over $372 million across more than 4,000 distinct projects throughout the State of Maine.
Conformément à notre statut, nous travaillons avec des partenaires dans tout l'État du Maine pour « encourager, promouvoir, stimuler et soutenir les activités de recherche et de développement menant à la commercialisation de nouveaux produits et services dans les secteurs industriels à forte intensité technologique de l'État afin d'améliorer la position concurrentielle de ces secteurs et augmenter la probabilité qu'un ou plusieurs des secteurs soutiennent des grappes d'activités industrielles et créent de nouveaux emplois pour les habitants du Maine.
I’m incredibly thankful to be running a business in Maine. The abundance of resources here makes it easier for entrepreneurs to thrive.
–Julie Campilio, Founder, Roots Up
