The Emerging Technology Consortium (ETC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to using technology to create opportunities in all urban communities. The ETC advocates for all communities to participate and own next generation industries. It also recommends that local governments lead public private partnerships that will result in globally competitive commercial businesses that are located in all communities and run by members of their respective communities. The Consortium recommends that the local innovative businesses in the community will be the catalyst to new jobs and training. Innovation can transform urban centers and cities.
