TransTech
TransTech is a nonprofit organization being formed to organize, nurture and promote the Northeast Ohio region’s transportation economic cluster to create jobs and wealth throughout the region, particularly in population centers with developed transportation infrastructure and rural areas having ports and intermodal assets.
TransTech will focus on up to three communities of practice:
* Supply chain, freight/intermodal and logistics (including RFID technologies)
* Vehicle technology (including fuel cells/next generation powertrains and advanced materials)
*Sustainable transportation (including transportation informatics and public sector assets)
TransTech will focus on up to three service areas:
* Resources and services for new and emerging transportation firms
* Technology commercialization, early stage capital and knowledge networking
* Promotion of the region's transportation cluster, market research on trends and opportunities, and transportation cluster-related government policy/investment advocacy
The business model for TransTech is to provide a vertical market focus on the needs of the transportation community and leverage existing intermediaries such as Greater Cleveland Partnership, NEOTec (Northeast Ohio Trade and Economic Consortium), NOACA (Northesast Ohio Area Coordinating Agency), CAPI (Case Advanced Power Institute), TeamNEO, Nortech, GLIDE (LCC's Great Lakes Incubator for Digital Enterprises), NEOSA, Jumpstart, Port Authorities, World Trade Center Cleveland, CAMP (Cleveland Advanced Manufacturing Program), NOCHE (Northeast Ohio Council of Higher Education) and public sector economic development entities.
