What We Do

The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is the state’s development agency for renewable energy and the innovation economy, which is responsible for one-quarter of all jobs in the state. MTC administers the John Adams Innovation Institute and the Renewable Energy Trust. We work to stimulate economic activity in communities throughout the Commonwealth.

As our name suggests, we use a collaborative approach to achieving the organization’s mission. We bring together leaders from industry, academia, and government to advance technology-based solutions that lead to economic growth and a cleaner environment in Massachusetts.

By developing energy from wind, solar, and other renewable resources, we’re reducing our reliance on coal, oil, and other fossil fuels that contribute to air pollution and global warming. Investments in the emerging clean energy market stimulate new economic activity in the renewable industry and job growth across Massachusetts.

Technology-driven innovation fuels our economy. MTC is uniquely positioned to provide economic development solutions working with the Governor and State Legislature. By forming dynamic partnerships with key stakeholders, the agency serves as a catalyst for growing the innovation economy.
