UT Strengthening Tennessee’s Innovation Economy
|
The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will lead a new state-wide coalition funded by the National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines program to help shape the future of mobility and usher in a new era of economic prosperity in Tennessee.
The state is already a recognized leader in automotive manufacturing with a growing presence in the EV market. Inspired by the increasing electrification and automation of transportation, the coalition of more than 90 organizations statewide will conceive of, invent, and commercialize new transportation systems and technologies. This first-of-its-kind mobility coalition will prepare Tennesseans for good paying jobs and create, recruit, and retain the innovation industries of Tennessee's future.
