Partners, customers and clients of every kind help us innovate and develop the very best advancements possible.  Simply put, there is NO WAY we could do the volume of all that we do with the caliber that we do it without the collaborative help of others.

The Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) is a national network of approximately 60 MEP Centers and hundreds of specialists who understand the needs of small and medium-size manufacturers. They have worked with thousands of manufacturers delivering $6.25 billion in sales and $1.3 billion in cost savings annually. They are a field force that can help small and medium-size businesses and individuals connect and accelerate their growth.

Because of their reach to manufacturers across the USA, the national MEP program supports the continued research, content and requirements of the USA National Innovation Marketplace (USAInnovation.org).  The national program also supports the tailoring of programs for their small and medium-size manufacturers to help them get started taking action on profitable growth.

A number of MEP Centers are sublicensees of these tailored programs (Eureka! Winning Ways and Eureka! Jump Start.)  Using these programs, trained coaches at each center work with client companies started taking action on profitable growth.  They have also been trained to use and interpret the Merwyn Business Simulation Research Report.

The UK National Innovation Marketplace is a service of Eureka! Research International, the international licensing sister company to the Eureka! Ranch.  They develop and deliver the world's most reliable systems for Creating, Communicating & Commercializing Meaningfully Unique Ideas.
