The sections below contain details regarding current Tec^Edge programs and facilities.

PROGRAMS

Development Workshops: These one to five day developmental sessions are intended for individuals, groups, or a specific company or organizational unit. Ranging from “team building” to preparing individuals/groups to be part of a culture of innovation, these workshops are customized to fit the needs of your group or organization. They are led by facilitators with decades of combined experience and employ a combination of group discussion, small team activities, and brief lectures in a collaborative and rewarding learning experience.

Solution Forums: These one to five day problem oriented sessions bring together a diverse and multi-disciplined group of recognized experts to focus on a particular National security or public safety problem/issue. Typically organized with a chair from academia/industry, these facilitated sessions range from early definition and understanding of a particular problem to actually identifying and describing solutions or approaches to solutions.

Resident Teams: This program brings multidisciplinary and/or joint (government/industry/academia) teams into the Tec^Edge environment to reside for extended periods of time (weeks to months) to intensely collaborate on specific problems or opportunities. The range of activity expands across problem definition/exploration, to experimentation, to the initial stages of prototyping. Many times these teams will be a follow on to Solution Forums and may also decide to meet at scheduled intervals over an extended period of time.

Rapid Reaction/Prototyping Teams: A developing initiative, where a team comprised of  Tec^Edge associates from various areas of expertise is brought together to develop a response or solution to an urgent technology need.

Virtual Hub (Evolving): The “always on” connection for Tec^Edge associates.

Tec^Edge Network (Beginning Fall/Winter,2007): This initiative challenges Tec^Edge to be a persistent energy source to leverage and focus the capabilities of a network of partners on AFRL challenges/research that also results in an economic development network creating high value jobs in Ohio.

Rapid Prototyping Laboratory (Beginning in Fall/Winter, 2007): Planning for this initiative is progressing ahead of schedule and will bring long term capability through government/industry/academia involvement and partnerships.
