Downeast Institute for Applied ResearchBeals, ME-This project will support a collaborative effort of 3 hatcheries, NOAA's Milford Lab and others working to develop consistently successful hatchery methods to raise sea scallops. This innovation is needed to enable sea scallop aquaculture in Maine to reach a scale of significance to Maine's economy, allowing farms to create secure jobs and raise capital. The current practice of capturing spat from the wild to grow out on farms will limit the growth and success of this emerging aquaculture opportunity. Our innovation will result in at least one commercial scallop hatchery in Maine that can serve the needs of the industry and help support future growth.$162,895

Additionally we construct our panels with a proprietary compression system that produces exceptionally high building performance in a fraction of the time it takes with conventional methods. We are seeking additional resources from MTI in order to support our growth, which includes further development of our proprietary compression system, expansion into a new factory space, and growing the team.$150,000

Acadian Composite MaterialsWoolwich, ME501(c)(3)Acadian Composite Materials disrupts the construction industry by creating a long-lasting and high performance structural insulated panel ("SIP") from recycled single-use beverage bottles. EcoSIP fabricates SIPs through its proprietary composite technology process. EcoSIP is a cost-effective alternative to typical "stick frame" building shells, with a lower cost of materials and construction time. EcoSIP also provides superior performance in terms of insulation value and ultimately energy savings. Furthermore, EcoSIP is completely made in Aroostook County, expanding the product line of an existing business. EcoSIP will help make Maine a leader in green building technology.$140,000

Ocean's BalanceS Portland, ME-We operate an innovative seaweed dehydrator for use in processing harvested seaweed by both our own company and by other seaweed farms. Ours is an in-demand, differentiated solution to the aquaculture industry-wide roadblocks related to processing very large volumes of farmed kelp during a short harvest season. With additional technology and support from MTI, we will be able to further automate and make efficient this important process that addresses a major untapped commercial opportunity that Maine is ideally positioned to capture. Our solution is different from current alternatives because our dehydrator is energy efficient, low temperature, and automated and allows for processing high volumes of seaweed in a short amount of time. There is also an integrated milling system that allows for the kelp to be milled to any particle size after dehydrating, which is a requirement by virtually all buyers.$135,714

Peaks Renewables IncCentennial, CO-Peaks Renewables, Inc. ("Peaks"), a subsidiary of Summit Utilities, Inc. ("Summit"), is planning to construct an anaerobic digestion facility in Clinton, ME. Peaks intends to develop, build, and operate the anaerobic digestion facility, collecting and processing dairy cow into renewable natural gas ("RNG").

Peaks anticipates that the digester facility will prevent the release of thousands of metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents annually. This project is consistent with the goals of Maine's Climate Action Plan. Capturing emissions from dairy cow manure and using it as renewable energy contributes to the achievement of Maine's climate goals and agricultural goals.$50,000

UNAR Labs LLCPortland, ME-Gaining access to digital graphical information such as graphs, charts, and maps, is one of the biggest challenges to success for people who are blind or visually-impaired (BVI). The visually rendered nature of graphic content means that BVI people are unable to perceive this critical information, resulting in negative impacts on their educational progress, employment opportunities, navigational efficiency, and myriad other activities of daily living (ADLs). Consider for instance a blind student who needs to work on class assignments or take a standard aptitude test (SAT) in STEM curriculum. Accomplishing tasks such as answering a question based on a bar graph are often difficult (or impossible) without graphic access, forcing the student to rely on a sighted-individual for assistance. UNAR Labs will address this major unmet need by providing BVI people with real-time access to digital text and graphical materials via development of an novel information access solution.$10,000

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11B

The Director of Finance and Administration performs an initial review of the Form 990 with the external preparers and secondarily with the President of the Organization. A copy of the completed Form 990 and accompanying schedules is then provided to the Maine Technology Institute Finance Committee of the Board of Directors for review and discussion, followed by presentation at the monthly board meeting preceding the filing date.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12C

The Organization requires that all board members, paid and volunteer application reviewers and employees sign conflict of interest policy statements, which are kept on file by the Organization. The policy requires that an individual disclose a conflict of interest as soon as the circumstances arise; that board members, reviewers and employees recuse themselves from discussions and decisions whenever there is a real or perceived conflict of interest. Additionally, award applicants are asked to disclose parties who may have a conflict of interest reviewing their projects; volunteer review board and governing board members are posted on the MTI website for their information. Care is taken to eliminate anyone with a conflict from each step in the review and decision-making process.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15

The Organization's top executive is compensated by the State of Maine, a related party. They are part of a bargaining unit and methodologies related to compensation are unknown at this time. The President of the Organization periodically reviews and sets compensation for all staff, including the Organization's other officers. This may or may not include a formal review and comparability analysis and may or may not be discussed informally with members of the board.

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19

The conflict of interest policy is available on the website. The financials are available upon request and are included in the annual report, which is posted on the website.

IRS990/Desc0The Maine Technology Institute (MTI) invests in promising technologies by funding research and development projects in the state's seven technology sectors. MTI's competitive awards bring new products, services and processes to the market, generating high-quality jobs across Maine. Businesses, non-profit organizations, academic institutions and entrepreneurs are eligible for funding under MTI's program, which is outlined below:Initial contact is made when those interested complete an online intake form. Meetings are established with entities proposing projects. Using an assessment tool, the potential applicant and the Institute review eight different areas including: Team Ability, Innovation and Value Proposition, Customer and Market, Business/Organization Model, and Scope of Work/Budget. At this point the process may continue with the Institute or may be referred to a business partner. If the determination is to apply for support, the appropriate level of funding request will be determined, and the application will be submitted. The funding level will also determine the level of due diligence needed with the application. Funding levels may also help to determine the nature of the award. The Institute awards grants, loans and equity investments. Successful applicants who receive funds are also required to submit reporting on their projects for five years post award.Four funding levels are used in the application process, as follows:Range One Awards less than $25,000Range Two Awards between $25,000 and $100,000Range Three Awards between $100,000 and $250,000Range Four Awards over $250,000
