Missouri Innovation Center – MU Life Science Business Incubator
The University of Missouri, businesses, individuals, and communities of our region launched an initiative in 2004 to establish a technology business incubator to support economic development in mid-Missouri and thereby contribute to the economy of the State of Missouri as a whole. Our stakeholders, along with State and Federal government, funded the construction of the MU Life Science Business Incubator. Our mission is economic development and our overall objective is to form a technology industry cluster in mid-Missouri. We accomplish that by creating and attracting new technology ventures. Technology ventures create high-paying jobs and attract capital investment. They have a large and positive impact on the economy and quality of life in the communities where they are located.
