Good Year for MTEC SmartZone

2014 proved to be a very successful year for the MTEC SmartZone. The local business incubator announced this week that they created 83 jobs last year. They were also recognized by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation for the milestone. CEO Marilyn Clark says she is very pleased with the results.

This past year saw two companies graduate from their program and the establishment of a satellite SmartZone in Marquette is already in the works. But the most important aspect of this program is to make sure MTU graduates stay in the Copper Country.

Since 2002, the SmartZone has created over 500 jobs locally and has received many shout–outs from Governor Rick Snyder. And a brighter 2015 is the expectation of all the people involved at the MTEC SmartZone.
