MTDC Profiled in Latest SSTI Program Brief
Established in 1978 and entirely self-supported beginning in 1988, the Massachusetts Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) has one of the longest records of success for state-sponsored venture capital corporations. SSTI has completed an eight-page profile of MTDC as the fourth in an occasional series examining the diversity of approaches to technology-based economic development.
The MTDC profile includes background on the creation of the corporation, description of MTDC activities and funds, information concerning organizational structure and staffing, a summary of accomplishments, and lessons learned over MTDC's 22 year history. Challenges, future plans, and sample success stories are also highlighted in the Program Brief.
Other SSTI Program Briefs have been prepared on the Kansas Commercialization Centers, the California Regional Technology Alliances, and the Maryland Investment Financing Programs. All four program briefs may be downloaded for free from the SSTI web site: http://www.ssti.org/Publications/online.htm
