Our Impact

About efactory

Inside a former turkey processing plant in downtown Springfield, something special is happening. A business incubator, resource hub, support network and all-around great place to be.

We opened our doors in 2013 with one goal: to serve as a one-stop shop for small business owners and entrepreneurs in southwest Missouri. Today our suite of programs cover all the bases.

The efactory offers small business consulting and training as well as leadership and professional development training through the Missouri State University Small Business Development Center.

Services also include: office space, coworking, an accelerator program, mentorship networks, corporate innovation, and more. 

We’re happy to be part of the IDEA Commons district, Missouri State University’s vision for an urban innovation park.

Take a look at what we’ve accomplished together since getting started.

Springfield company develops new technology to monitor the health of inmates

Jailers in Missouri are using new technology to monitor the health of inmates. Wristbands with sensors alert if an inmate faces a medical emergency. A Springfield company makes the wristbands. The company’s team is made up of local, current, and former correctional workers. Their goal is to make jails safer for both inmates and staff, allowing correctional workers to focus on their jobs in a safer environment. “Omni RTLS can help to alert staff of any of these self-harm type things and overall make it safer for everyone,” said Alison Lamphear. The company works with two Missouri jails, one in Buchanan County and the other in Franklin County.
