In 2001, UMass Dartmouth opened the Advanced Technology Manufacturing Center (ATMC) in Fall River to encourage and support technology-focused businesses. In 2015, the ATMC reviewed and refined its mission to provide more experiential opportunities for UMass Dartmouth students and faculty and more proactively build economic development in the region. The Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (formerly ATMC) has graduated dozens of successful start-ups in the fields of marine technology, clean technology and biomedical engineering.
