Innovation through collaboration.
Our Mission
The Maine North Atlantic Institute leads USM’s cultivation of partnerships across the North Atlantic and Arctic—bringing USM’s students, faculty and community partners together to advance innovative research, education, and workforce development.

Why the North Atlantic?
By harnessing the power of collaboration and innovation, we believe Maine can become an economic leader on the world stage.
Since 2015, the Maine North Atlantic Institute has been fostering Maine’s relationships with businesses, universities, and communities throughout the North Atlantic to encourage cross-cultural innovation and drive economic opportunities.
We believe this kind of relationship-building will put our state’s economy in a position to grow and prosper through partnerships with other strong North Atlantic economies.
