A Regional Economic Force in a Global Market

The Northwest Energy Technology Collaborative is a joint effort of business, government, non-profit and educational institutions determined to accelerate the emergence and growth of the energy technology industry in the Pacific Northwest region of North America.

With world-class university and research centers and more than 300 new energy companies, our region is poised to become a global hub for emerging power technology.

The Pacific Northwest region possesses two great strengths that make it a natural for new energy technology development:

  • A long history and current base of companies providing products and innovations relating to generation, transmission, distribution, control and use of energy, and
  • A first-rate culture of entrepreneurial success

What We Do

The Collaborative will bring the region’s cutting edge energy development to the world by addressing opportunities, expanding the economic base, and furthering the development of new and emerging technologies and their global deployment. We promote synergies between businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits and the government.

The Collaborative focuses its efforts in three areas:

  • Research and Development
  • Commercialization Services
  • Regional Branding

Founding Organizations

The Collaborative is the flagship project of Washington Technology Center’s Industry Initiative Program and was joined by Avista Corporation, Bonneville Power Administration, Inland Northwest Technology Education Center, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Puget Sound Energy, Sirti and the State of Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development.
