Overview

The Maine Technology Institute is soliciting proposals from Maine organizations looking to make investments in R&D equipment, infrastructure and technology upgrades to drive innovation and generate economic impact in Maine.  MTI has $2 million in available funding for the Maine Technology Asset Fund 2.5 program and is capping individual funding requests at $500,000 or less.

The funding for the MTAF 2.5 program comes from a research and development bond passed by the Legislature in 2016 and approved by voters in 2017.  That $45 million bond was fully awarded by MTI in 2018 but $2 million is now being made available for redeployment due to project forfeitures.

Recipients of MTAF 2.0 funding during the 2018 round are not eligible for this MTAF 2.5 funding opportunity.
