MBDA Business Expertise Opens Doors to New Capital
Swain Techs provides cybersecurity, model & simulation, engineering and information management solution services. When Swain Techs wanted to expand their business, the Philadelphia MBDA Business Center was there to help identify target clients in the public and private sectors. The MBDA also provided management consulting, business development services, and helped identify financing sources for working capital.
These efforts resulted in Swain Techs securing a $3.9 million contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, saving 6 jobs and creating 4 others.
