Maine Technology Centers
Each of Maine's seven targeted technology sectors has its own incubation center. The incubation centers provide critical early-stage technical, business, administrative, and financial resources and training for participating firms including:

  •  Continual, focused business assistance, information exchange, and technical relationships
  •  Low overhead
  •  Shared office equipment
  •  Meeting spaces
  •  Training programs
  •  Coaching/mentoring services
  •  Shared reception/telephone services
  •  Videoconferencing/electronic communication capacities

Firms seeking tenancy must apply directly to one of the seven participating centers. Some centers may offer non-resident programs. Firms typically incubate at a center for two to three years, then relocate to a larger space to accommodate growth.
