About Microsoft Innovation Alliance Center:
Microsoft Innovation Centers (MICs) are state-of- the art technology facilities for collaboration on innovative research, technology or software solutions, involving a combination of government, academic and industry participants.
To foster innovation and the development of strong, self-sustaining local software industries, Microsoft is partnering with local governments, academic institutions, industry organizations and software and hardware vendors to expand its network of Microsoft Innovation Centers (MIC). Today these centers serve 110 communities worldwide.
Microsoft and partners in each community work together to operate the MICs, which are open to students, professional software developers, IT professionals, entrepreneurs and academic researchers. While each Center tunes its programs to local needs, they all provide similar content and services designed to accelerate technology advances and stimulate local software economies through skills and professional training, industry partnerships and innovation.
