Chris Frank

Two years ago, Chris Frank was a master’s degree candidate in UMaine’s Spatial Information Science and Engineering.  Since then, he has formed a company called Intelligent Spatial Technologies (IST) located at UMaine’s Target Technology Incubator.  The company grew out of his research at UMaine and is aimed at providing smart mapping devices to help tourists identify landmarks and prospective college students tour campuses.  IST now has five employees.   “There really hasn’t been a better time to start a new business in Maine. It’s the time of new growth. Through the University’s Incubator, I have received great support from organizations committed to supporting new businesses: Maine Technology Institute, Maine Patent Program, Small Business Development Center, Maine Manufacturing Extension Partnership, Maine International Trade Center, Market Development Center…the list goes on."
