MCITy is fast becoming a spot in Mississippi where senior decision makers and technical leaders from government, academia and industry can come together to tackle big issues. Senator Roger Wicker hosted Assistant Secretary of Defense for Science and Technology, Dr. Aprille Ericsson, and a host of university, industry and government senior leaders at MCITy in a day-long discussion of Defense science and technology. The Mississippi Cyber Initiative convened a summit on cybersecurity issues at MCITy. Partners in this summit included Mississippi’s research universities, the FBI, MS Homeland Security, MS Insurance Association, MS Hospital Association, MCITy partners and numerous elected officials. Numerous events such as these have cemented MCITy as a go-to spot for convening technology and innovation discussions.
