MIL's most lasting contribution is that it was the meeting place for the entrepreneurs [[Terry Matthews]] and [[Michael Cowpland]]. The pair left the company to found much of the high tech industry in [[Kanata, Ontario]], Canada. They started [[Mitel]] together.  Cowpland later started [[Corel]].  Matthews later started [[Newbridge Networks]].  Cowpland's boss at MIL cautioned him against leaving the security of a large company just a few months before MIL was wound up.

Another partnership formed at MIL was that of Dick Foss and Bob Harland who, on their return from the 1975 [[International Solid-State Circuits Conference|ISSCC]] conference where they had presented their paper on MIL's 4k DRAM,<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Foss|first1=R.|last2=Harland|first2=R.|title=1975 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

They started [[MOSAID]] initially as a memory design house and branched out into other related areas such as reverse engineering, EDA software, and memory test equipment manufacturing. The reverse engineering business was spun off in 1989 as Semiconductor Insights, now TechInsights.
