NASA Commercialization Center
Founded in partnership with NASA
CTTi's technology commercialization roots were established in August 1998 when the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the College of the Extended University at Cal Poly Pomona signed a cooperative agreement to establish the NASA Commercialization Center (NCC). The goal was to develop facilities and programs that would contribute to the success of emerging companies commercializing NASA technology.
Early Results Led to Expansion
Strong early results led to a broadened scope that reached out to all emerging companies with promising technology. Partners that made this possible include Economic Development Administration in the U.S. Department of Commerce, the California Technology, Trade and Commerce Agency, U.S. Department of Labor, Southern California Edison and the College of the Extended University at Cal Poly Pomona.
Today
Today, CTTi offers a novel environment that is responsive to the challenges of early stage businesses. The facility is the entrepreneurial anchor of Cal Poly Pomona's research park, Innovation Village, and also houses the Pomona Technology Center.
Access to Resources
Clients find being located in a research park on a college campus creates unparalleled access to experts and unique collaborating opportunities. In short, it surrounds a company with an infrastructure only enjoyed by the large business community: including marketing, public relations, and I.T. support.
Through these activities and more, CTTi has proven to be a strategic partner driving the rapid growth of companies, boasting impressive annual growth rates per client.
