Operated by an independent not-for-profit

Governed by a board of directors

A wholly owned subsidiary of the University of Tennessee Research Foundation

Incorporated in the State of Tennessee

Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee

$250M in funding with $70M from DOE and $180 from partners

What is IACMI?THE Composites Institute
