"This support was exactly what we needed. We need to make potential
clients and partners overseas aware of our capabilities, but until now it was
difficult to dedicate the funding required to put together a website that had
the desired effect. With this STEP funding and with the support of MITC's
staff, we were able to get over that hump."
