An ecosystem for game-changers...

MSC isn’t just a landing pad for early-stage textile innovators—it’s a launchpad. We’re not here to claim an inventor’s IP, just to make sure they succeed.

Our ecosystem and on-site incubator facilities are designed to fast-track ideas, reduce innovation cycles, and accelerate a path to market. With proven successes like NuFabrx (now Clothing 2.0), Evolved by Nature, InnovaKnits, and more, MSC’s incubator attracts the textile industry’s top disruptors.

Plus, as a MSC tenant, companies get on-site access to shared services, equipment, and the space to grow without the overhead. The MSC ecosystem is an ideal setting for emerging companies looking to make waves.

But, don't take our word for it...

"It's this intersection of textiles, of testing, of biotech, of prototyping that is all under one roof that really doesn't exist anywhere else in the country. ”
