Technology institute plans workshops around Maine

The Maine Technology Institute will conduct four workshops around the state in October. The workshops will provide general proposal preparation advice and specific information regarding MTI’s development award request for proposal, or RFP, and the MTI seed grant RFP. Participants will be guided through common components of a formal proposal. The workshops are offered at no charge, are informational, and active participation will be encouraged to facilitate learning.

Workshops will be held in:

. South Portland – 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 19 at Southern Maine Technical College’s auditorium.

. Bangor – 1-5 p.m. Oct. 22 at Eastern Maine Technical College, Rangeley Hall, Room 501B.

. Augusta – 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 26 at Best Western Senator Inn’s Conference Center (board room), Western Avenue at I-95.

. Limestone – 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 29 at Loring Commerce Centre.

The Maine Technology Institute offers two award programs that support the commercialization of new technology-related products or services. Seed grants support early activities related to product or business development or commercialization; and development awards support research and development leading to commercialization of new products or services. All awards are made on a competitive basis, with specific criteria and requirements. Detailed information, schedules and forms about these grants are available at www.mainetechnology.org or by calling 582-4790.
