RoadBotics has been included in a new cohort of cleantech entrepreneurs aimed to promote local expansion, relocation and project deployment for emerging technology companies in the region between Charlotte and the Research Triangle.
“Our vision is to bring municipalities, utilities, industry and academia to source technology solutions for communities across North Carolina,” said Susan Sanford, Executive Director of RTCC. “We are excited about the opportunity the corridor presents to small, innovative communities as well as our larger cities.”
Joules Accelerator and the Research Triangle Cleantech Cluster (RTCC) joined forces and now are also supported by a three-year $1.5 million matching grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Regional Innovation Strategies program and North Carolina’s business community.
