Since its inception the Center has secured grants and contracts in excess of $50M and impacted over 2100 students. Through the Department of Defense Mentor-Protégé Program we partnered with over 17 large mentoring corporations and assisted over 100 technology protégé growth companies nationwide. Our efforts of providing developmental assistance to these protege companies resulted in an increase in $20M in revenue and created over 150 new technology jobs.

The organization will also reveal its plans for a bold and influential future. Since 2004, MIEC has developed life-changing opportunities for more than 400 small businesses, resulting in more than $255 million in revenue growth and $35 million in capital access.
