Technology Industry Partnership of Northwest Pennsylvania

The mission of the Technology Industry Partnership of Northwest Pennsylvania (TIP) is to help introduce advanced technologies to a spectrum of industry segments for improved opportunity and competitiveness. TIP aims to identify emerging technologies that affect total cost of operation, to define employer needs for IT and telecommunications, and to aid in developing a curriculum for radio frequency identification device (RFID) implementation and compliance.

TIP Strategies

• Monitor emerging technologies, potential applications and new markets for regional manufacturers
• Assist businesses in applying RFID technology for supply chain compliance and cost reduction efforts; manage incumbent worker training grants detailing the intended delivery model of RFID curriculum development
• Identify IT and telecommunications gaps and needs across all regional tech businesses and manufacturers
