The Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation (CATI) Partnership Board and the Gateway Technical College Board of Directors recently held a groundbreaking to begin construction of the new 40,000-square-foot facility located in Sturtevant’s Renaissance Park.

The Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation (CATI) of Racine County was formed to promote business development, workforce development, and technology innovation in southeastern Wisconsin. CATI is a partnership among more than a dozen local and regional educational institutions, business development  organizations, and local industries. The effort is spearheaded by the Racine County Economic Development Corp.

Once completed, the new facility will allow CATI to offer students and entrepreneurs:

  • A technology incubator, where new and developing firms can cost effectively develop and market new technology products and services.
  • A technology transfer office to help leverage research and development resources at local and regional educational institutions, businesses, and industries.
  • An education program integrated with local colleges, universities, and school districts to provide project-based learning opportunities.

More information is available by contacting Matthew Wagner, CATI Director, at (262) 635-2433 or mwagner@racinecountyedc.org
