Purdue MEP primarily supports small- to medium-sized manufacturers in Indiana, but our services can benefit organizations beyond the manufacturing sector and outside the state.
Purdue MEP is partially underwritten by federal funding from the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) MEP program. This funding provides the needed support that allows us to remain an economical service provider. The MEP program is a public-private partnership, designed from inception as a cost-share program. Federal appropriations pay a portion with the balance for each Center being funded by state/local governments and/or private entities, plus client fees. This funding provides the needed support that allows us to remain an economical service provider to manufacturing companies in the state of Indiana. This cost-share model contributes to MEP’s success.
The MEP National Network is a public-private partnership that provides comprehensive solutions to U.S. manufacturers, helping them grow and thrive in today's technology-driven economy.
