The Green Technology Accelerator Center (GTAC) program is administered by the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I), a partnership between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Rochester Institute of Technology and the university’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the State University of New York at Buffalo and Clarkson University, with a statewide reach.
GTAC’s mission is to support state companies to help accelerate the commercialization of new, environmentally friendly products or processes, resulting in increased economic growth and job creation. This is accomplished by leveraging highly specialized technical laboratory facilities and engineering expertise at NYSP2I’s four state university partners. Funded by the state DEC, the GTAC program provides significant support for qualified state companies to take advantage of the technical resources available through the NYSP2I’s four university partners.
NYSP2I and its GTAC program also work closely with the state’s Regional Technology Development Centers (including AM&T) and the Business Incubator Association of New York State, Inc. to identify companies that can best utilize GTAC resources statewide. An acceptable program application, business plan and working prototype are requirements for acceptance into the program. The GTAC team subsequently provides a detailed, confidential engineering report and documented case study to all participating companies upon project completion. This report can be leveraged to promote the product’s performance benefits to a company’s target market or investment community.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Please contact Dan Smith, GTAC program manager, to learn about program resources.
