Mind2Marketplace (M2M) is an organization dedicated to helping bring the brightest and best ideas in middle Tennessee technology to reality, with jobs creation the ultimate goal.

Realizing the "idea to paper to product/service to jobs" isn't an automatic process, M2M was formed to help establish an aggressive strategic connection between people or organizations with marketable ideas and the final marketplace.

M2M covers the 40-county area in middle Tennessee surrounding Nashville, TN, with a diagonal connection to partners at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories in Oak Ridge, TN, and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL.

Primary areas of focus include:

• Biotechnologies
• Aviation/Aerospace
• Distribution (road and electronic)
