Inside a former poultry processing plant in downtown Springfield, something special is happening. A business incubator, business support center, talent development hub and more. The efactory opened its doors in March of 2013 with one goal in mind: to serve as a one-stop shop for small business owners and entrepreneurs throughout southwest Missouri. Today our services cover all the bases for businesses and employers – everything from office space for growing companies to custom trainings for established businesses to a university connection for building incredible teams. The efactory is proud to be part of the IDEA Commons district, Missouri State University’s vision for an urban innovation park. We have delivered nationally recognized programs directly accelerating business creation, innovation, and growth. We’re proud to be the go-to resource for business support and talent development solutions. We see a future where innovative businesses create a ripple effect of job growth, community prosperity, and a shared success story for all.
