MTM boasts more than a dozen unique partnerships. Each of these partnerships represent a unique relationship that enables us to better convey our mission of delivering innovation and entrepreneurship to the marketplace. These partners pool their resources to support MTM as a whole, as well as our role in the community and beyond. They provide a foundation for commercial innovation development and entrepreneurial support.

With partnerships beginning in the early years of MTM, Bill Graves as Governor of Kansas in 1998 recognized MTM (formerly MACC then NISTAC) as representative of that “Extraordinary Manhattan Partnership.” The partnership Graves referred to included the State of Kansas, Kansas State University, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, the City of Manhattan and both Riley and Pottawatomie Counties. These relationships are still intact today, amongst others that have joined the ranks. Below is a listing of our current partners.
