Our mission is to help create and scale the next generation of successful robotics and automation companies by providing entrepreneurs and innovative robotics/automation startups with the space and resources they need to develop, prototype, test, and commercialize their products and solutions. In order to create a fertile environment in which visionaries can thrive, we aim to: + Foster a collaborative ecosystem for academic, private, and public key stakeholders that allows thought-sharing and creative exchange. + Offer best-in-class infrastructure and prototyping facilities to enable the unfettered development of robotic/automation systems. + Promote cost efficiencies through sharing of many services such as prototyping, testing, maintenance, IT, security, business services, investors introductions and customers acquisition. + Development of common-need technology services, i.e. sensors support and standards office, to the MassRobotics community + Inspire next generation of innovators and builders thru in-house hands-on STEM collaboration and initiatives

TECNA serves its members and the industry through its strong peer-to-peer network and its regional initiatives to raise the visibility and viability of the technology industry. TECNA represents approximately 60 IT and Technology trade organizations that, in turn, represent more than 22,000 technology-related companies in North America.
