  2. Mission CIT accelerates Virginia’s next generation of technology and technology companies

  3. Regional Operations Portfolios • Early stage technology businesses with significant growth potential; • Businesses have specific needs that CIT can address; • Owner/management team is a capable partner.

  4. Regional Operations-Services • Direct • Technology Business & Market Development • Business & Technical Information Briefings • Federal Funding Assistance • Capital Access Assistance • Technology Transfer (NASA M-A RTTC, et.al.) • Mentoring/Resource Network Development • Indirect • Prototype Development (TAC-ODU) • Advanced Entrepreneurial Support (EC-W&M)

  5. CIT Regional Operations Capacity to follow-up with clients on site is the KEY for successful outcomes Richmond

  6. Regional Operations-Community Support • Funding support and volunteer service to 10 regional technology councils and the Virginia Technology Alliance; • Direct support for the Hampton Roads Technology Incubator: • Provided staff to fill Executive Director; • Secured $195k additional funding from City of Hampton for current year; • Guided expansion of Incubator to James City County.

  7. Regional Operations-Community Support (cont.) • DARPA contract support for SBIR/STTR outreach at Institute for Advanced Learning & Research in Southside VA; • Volunteer service to steering committees for national Sensor Expo & Conference in Tidewater and 4 regional sensor forums; • Volunteer service to National Association of Sensor Science & Technology; • Volunteer service to VA Space Grant Consortium.

  8. Technology Transfer • Past client successes emphasized spin-out: • 1996-2001 • ESI Ash Process Argonne NL • Dilon Scintillation Jefferson Lab • Visual Ultrasonic probe NASA Langley Programs • Avir Gas detection NASA Langley • Tecnico Flexible Molding NASA Langley
