Late Summer News

August 29, 2024 | President’s blog

It’s hard to believe Labor Day is upon us, but the turning leaves and a few of the cooler mornings suggest that summer is indeed winding down.

We are in the process of wrapping up our PRIME 2.0 application process. The final deadline for applications is August 30th at midnight. The $7 million program is geared towards Maine organizations that suffered adverse impacts associated with the global pandemic and have a plan to use PRIME funding to stabilize and grow the entity moving forward. Good luck to all who have submitted applications thus far.  We are looking forward to a robust and timely selection process.

Also this month, the Inc. 5000 list was published – with 14 Maine companies listed – 7 of which are MTI companies.  I want to extend our congratulations to all the Maine companies that made the list, but especially to those companies we’ve had the privilege of working with: 

•CampTek Software
Defendify
HistoryIT
Compotech
Vetro
ATX Advisory Services
Tilson 

Looking ahead, we have the upcoming BioME Annual Conference on October 2, 2024 at the University of New England.  We hope to see you there for this wonderful lineup of speakers. 

Finally, please save the date for MTI’s upcoming 25th Anniversary Celebration to be held at the Abromson Center in Portland, October 29, 2024 from 4pm-7pm. Invitations forthcoming after Labor Day.

Until then, enjoy these beautiful late-summer days.
