The Carbondale Technology Transfer Center operates a fully functional small business incubator, which is divided into Office (Technology Users), Light Industry, Mixed-Use, Kitchen, and Electronics Incubator sections. Importantly, this set-up allows us to serve technology-oriented, light industry, light assembly, food production, electronic manufacturing, and computer companies. Included in the Makerspace are workbenches, shelving, and three machines that allow for the manufacturing of prototypes or small lots of electronic circuit boards.  As a result, this space helps technology startups protect intellectual property by allowing them to produce prototypes and small quantity runs domestically rather than relying on overseas producers. Recently, a 3D Printer was added to the facility. 

In addition to space, we also provide business assistance services traditionally associated with a business incubator including Business Plans, Market Studies, Loan Proposals.  Our existing agreement with the University of Scranton’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC) supports the provisions of many of these services, augmented by CTTC online staff.
