Mississippi Polymer Institute – Pitch Event
May 26, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
The Mississippi Polymer Institute cultivates business growth and participation in advanced materials markets. As the industrial outreach component of the University of Southern Mississippi’s 500-acre Innovation and Commercialization Park, we collectively provide capabilities and resources relevant to businesses at all stages of maturity. As a partner in the CoBuilders Accelerator and the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MMA-MEP), MPI works with other partners around Mississippi to assist early-stage companies.
Startup Focus: Early-stage companies generally focused on material-based products (preferably), but all area startups are encouraged to sign up.
Application Process: Applications are open through May 1st. Once accepted, you will begin the process with a consultation session and work with a mentor to prepare for the Pitch Event held at MPI on May 26. The community is invited to the Pitch Event to hear some of the exciting regional startup initiatives.
