Chico State Researchers Join New Cleantech Innovation Center

Three Chico State faculty have established research projects and laboratories at the Cleantech Innovation Center at the Airport Business Park in Oroville, California.  Another Chico State faculty member is establishing a workforce training program in geospatial technology for unemployed workers.

 "The Cleantech Innovation Center at Oroville is a place where new ideas come to grow into profitable, carbon-smart businesses, products and careers.  The mission is three-fold: to incubate and attract new cleantech businesses and help existing businesses transition to cleantech; to support and fast track applied research in emerging cleantech areas; and to support workforce development and readiness in Northern California."
