The Technology Resource Council and Advisory Board is comprised of representatives from the region's technology-based economic development, community and research organizations. The Council members have expertise in the fields of bioscience and healthcare, information and communication technologies, instruments/controls/electronics, polymers/advanced materials, nanotechnology, energy/power/propulsion, and advanced manufacturing. Members of the Council serve two main functions: 1) keep NorTech staff updated and informed on the latest technology cluster advancements in the region and 2) actively participate in NorTech projects and initiatives that help to bolster the region's key technology strengths. (Appointments to the Council are made annually.)
