About TeCMEN
30+ Years of STEM Collaboration
How We Got Started
The Technology Coast Manufacturing and Engineering Network, TeCMEN, was established by the One Okaloosa EDC in 1989 to be the premier business advocate for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) industries. TeCMEN provides opportunities for innovative collaboration and advanced technical expertise locally, regionally, and in the competitive global marketplace.

Throughout the year there are opportunities for guest participation events.
