What FedTech clients and partners say
Our NG Tech Accelerator experience was absolutely amazing! We were matched with an internal advocate who found several places where our technology would be highly applicable to supporting NG applications, and we are now working with NG to build test articles. The initial focus for our company was on making parts for the energy industry, but the traction we had with NG was so great that we have pivoted to an Aerospace & Defense focus.

"As someone who was born and raised here—and who has spent a long time working in technology, economic development, and community-building—it’s incredibly exciting to see a program like this taking shape locally. To my knowledge, nothing like this has ever been rolled out in my home county before. It’s great to see the direction things are heading."
