The Center for Advanced Engineering & Research is a Region 2000 initiative to develop an industry-focused regional research and development center that drives the development of innovative products and processes by providing local access to university and federal research and inventions. It targets the growth industries specific to the region and puts university innovations into action through practical implementation in industry. The goal is to increase the competitiveness for core, high wage industries and improve the long-term prospects of existing industrial employers by creating a knowledge-based research hub for the region. 

We are an industry-led research center in Region 2000 that provides a research university environment. We bring together private and public money, talent and resources to foster knowledge creation, facilitate technology transfer, improve the scientific and engineering workforce, and serve as an "innovation intermediary" to benefit regional industry.

TechEDGE 2012 is not your ‘run of the mill’ business conference. As always, it will be a time of gathering for the entire regional technology community but it will also offer new formats for learning, celebrating, and networking. There will be four sessions with more than 12 regional and statewide business, education and technology leaders speaking on four major topics of interest. Following the sessions will be a massive time of networking where you can connect with other movers and shakers in the region. It will be the largest networking event we’ve ever held and the biggest of its kind in the region! Click here to register and submit awards nominations.
