The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and the Paso del Norte Regional Technology Incubator (The Hub) will work with the Texas State Energy Conservation Office (SECO) and UT Austin’s Austin Technology Incubator (ATI) to establish one of two new clean energy technology incubation programs in Texas.  To start these programs, SECO will provide $200,000 of federally sourced support to UTEP, and ATI’s Clean Energy Incubator will provide training, experience and networks based on its 12 years of experience.  Staff from the El Paso incubator will attend training and strategy workshops in Austin this summer.

UTEP and The Hub plan to use technologies from regional agencies including Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories in New Mexico, Fort Bliss, the City of El Paso and some factories in Juárez, Mexico, as initial test beds.
