Where Mississippi’s Builders Find Their Path
Mississippi Enterprise for Technology (MSET) is the connector across Mississippi’s aerospace, defense, and technology economy. Companies don’t land at Stennis by accident, federal awards don’t show up on their own, and research doesn’t reach market without industry on the other end. Behind every Mississippi win is a network of federal agencies, state leaders, universities, and industry partners—and MSET is how they find each other.
For Companies Building the Future
Whether you’re an aerospace startup pursuing Stennis, a defense contractor chasing federal work, or a technology company evaluating Mississippi as a home base—MSET is your starting line. We connect you to NASA, MDA, ADAM, and Mississippi’s research universities. Companies like Evolution Space chose Mississippi because that ecosystem worked together to bring them here.
For Researchers and Industry on the Move
Mississippi’s four R1 universities and 60+ ADAM industry members don’t work in parallel—they work together. By connecting these partner through initiatives such as the Mississippi Research Consortium, MSET turns individual capability into shared advantage.
For Results
Created by the Mississippi Development Authority, NASA, and Mississippi’s research universities to operate the state’s Office of Space and Technology under state statute, MSET has one job: open doors no one else can. The results over the last four years: more than $725 million in corporate investment and 200 defense companies, and over 2,700 new jobs and $28 billion in federal awards is what happens when Mississippi works as one.
