Innovation really is a simple concept 

provide support to Maine-based entrepreneurs so they can build world-class companies. Establish a community of experts and mentors, create environments for collaboration and offer the very best training and programing. MCED develops the entrepreneurs who are leading the future of Maine's business. That’s what we do; it’s just that simple.

    -Peter Drucker

  • “You jump off a cliff and you assemble an airplane on the way down.”

    -Reid Hoffman, Founder, LinkedIn

  • “Top Gun made me re-explore in depth my initial thoughts about my business and strengthen my business plan by seeing the big picture.”

    -Kay Aikin Introspective Systems, LLC

  • “The pursuit of opportunities, regardless of the resources one controls.”
