After months of competition, the SmartTech MS Advanced Manufacturing Prize has reached its final stage! Back in January, we challenged founders across the state to push the boundaries of manufacturing innovation—and they delivered. From optimizing processes to enhancing efficiency, the submissions showcased groundbreaking technologies shaping the future of the industry.

Now, it’s time to celebrate the finalists and award $35,000 in prizes to the top innovators:
🏆 Mississippi Advanced Manufacturing Champion – $25,000
🥈 Mississippi Advanced Manufacturing Innovator – $10,000
