About Us

The Center for Training, Technology and Incubation (CTTi) provides a select group of emerging technology companies with the opportunity to be part of a nurturing environment that accelerates successful growth. CTTi accomplishes this by offering early stage companies resources available to mature companies and allowing them to selectively access the resources as the need arises. CTTi clients work in an environment that fosters communication among entrepreneurs; facilitates collaborations with Cal Poly Pomona researchers and students; and offers office, R&D, wetlab and light industrial space designed to expand with company growth. By design, CTTi helps mitigate many of the greatest challenges faced by emerging companies whether as a resident or affiliate.

Cal Poly Pomona's Innovation Village

CTTi understands the challenge facing early stage technology companies when leasing space in the first years. The combination of a limited operating history, need for small but often specialized space, and unpredictability of growth patterns, makes for a real challenge. CTTi understands the dynamic and offers flexible terms and scalable space options. There is also the long term attraction of being located in Innovation Village, a 65-acre technology park located on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. As your company grows and matures, additional space will be available in one of the multi-tenant buildings located right next door.

Support in many different forms

CTTi companies are typically early stage with two to 20 employees, a management team comprised of founders, and first products entering the market. Until now, the technical development has been all consuming but financing and marketing functions now demand equal attention. Clients also quickly learn to leverage and extend the value of close proximity to Cal Poly Pomona from the obvious student talent and faculty expertise to less obvious resources such as marketing and training development.

Those seeking to lease space will find that CTTi has demonstrated a willingness to take a risk in emerging companies with a promising product or technology when income levels, business plans, or product prototypes may not be fully developed.
