If innovation is at heart of technology, then motivation is the blood that pumps it and keeps it moving forward.

We are delighted to bring our motivating and highly practical marketing and communication programs to leaders in the field of high technology.

Through our relationship with the Connecticut Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), we have been able to help innovators and  inventors communicate their technological ideas  more effectively with companies who can potentially commercialize them.
