Besides the Manufacturing Extension Partnership, the Secretary must help state technology programs support local businesses.

This helps those programs help businesses — especially small and medium ones — become more competitive by using science and technology. (b) This assistance from the Institute to state programs must include, but isn't limited to: technical information and advice from Institute staff; workshops and seminars for state officials interested in bringing federal technology to businesses; and entering cooperative agreements when this chapter or another law allows it.
