Grants for Massachusetts-based small to medium sized manufacturers to prepare their businesses to meet the demands of Industry 4.0 and the manufacturing of new technologies and innovations that align with key industries in the Commonwealth.
MMAP is a CAM program designed to help Massachusetts-based small to medium sized manufacturers prepare their businesses to meet the demands of Industry 4.0 and the manufacturing of new technologies and innovations that align with key industries in the State.
MMAP Focuses on Two Goals for your Business:
- Provides CAPITAL: Through necessary capital equipment purchases, you, as a manufacturer, will have access to new supply chain connections, new opportunities and growth. (For what qualifies as capital, see our Program Guidelines)
- Creates PARTNERSHIPS: This program aims to make connections between manufacturers and non-profit partners within the state (such as MassMEP, academic institutions, MassHire boards, Economic Development Councils, MassRobotics, etc.). These partnerships will provide assistance through technical support, workforce development support, business connections, or other means of assistance, depending on the partner.
How MMAP Works
The MMAP is a competitive program that runs annually, utilizing a streamlined application and approval process to ease the burden on manufacturers and to create an immediate impact on your company's growth.
