Mission Statement
The mission of the Technology Innovation Center is to generate and advance the culture of entrepreneurship in the community and to expand the technology based economy in the market.

Objectives
The three main objectives of the Technology Innovation Center are:

• Identify and support high technology business opportunities.
• Promote long-term and sustainable economic development in East Lansing and the region.
• Support the business community by providing affordable office space and services, training, funding sources, mentoring, and a network of professional advisors.;

Vision
The City of East Lansing has created the Technology Innovation Center in downtown East Lansing to facilitate the development of the technology based economy. The facility will cater towards developing Michigan State University Information Technology (IT) spin-offs, high-tech ventures, and local entrepreneurs.

While the initial facility is located within existing downtown office space, the vision includes expanding or relocating into East Lansing’s mixed used development project, East Village, depending on the timing of redevelopment efforts.

The Technology Innovation Center is also located within the East Lansing portion of the Lansing Regional Smartzone. The Innovation Center will contribute to the development of regional networking and educational forums. It is expected that these forums will be an integral component of increasing exposure to the SmartZone while simultaneously providing an avenue for high tech businesses to network and learn about the latest market trends.

The Innovation Center will also serve as an expanded wireless hot spot in downtown East Lansing. Wireless services will be made available free of charge to qualifying high technology businesses and their guests. In addition, broadband will be deployed within the incubator facilities.
