Its goal is to support technology transfer activities from public and private research institutions to companies in Massachusetts. To achieve this goal, the Center works with technology transfer offices at Massachusetts research institutions; faculty, researchers, and students who have commercially promising ideas; and companies across the Commonwealth. MTTC manages two funding programs to support technology development: a $5,000 award to support market research and a $40,000 award to support technology development. All Boston University faculty are eligible to apply.

MTC is the state’s development agency for renewable energy and the innovation economy. MTC administers the John Adams Innovation Institute and the Renewable Energy Trust and works to stimulate economic activity in communities throughout the Commonwealth. Through the John Adams Innovation Institute and associated economic stimulus bills, MTC provide funding to support the creation of interdisciplinary research centers and to provide cost share to augment large federal research grants.
