Mississippi Polymer Institute: Growing High-Tech Polymer Industry

The Mississippi Polymer Institute (MPI) was established in 1993 with a goal of growing high-tech polymer and polymer-related industries in the state.

Serving as the industrial outreach arm of the School of Polymers and High Performance Materials at The University of Southern Mississippi, MPI has played a key role in growing the state’s multibillion-dollar-per-year, high-tech polymer industry, and has directly assisted in the creation of thousands of jobs.

While the primary focus is supporting growth of high-tech businesses within Mississippi, MPI performs contracted work for companies worldwide.
