MassDevelopment has issued a request for proposals
from small- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises seeking to create
"innovation centers". The program is designed to give companies
access to expertise and equipment they lack in-house, according to the state's
finance and development agency.
Known as the Manufacturing Futures Program, the
effort will subsidize the cost of contracting with innovation centers selected
under the RFP to solve technical problems that can hinder growth.
