Introducing TEST
Technology Evaluation, Support and Testing (TEST) Program
About The TEST Program
Testing, pilots, and validation are all crucial to the success of a technology and connecting our companies that have prototypes to potential demonstration sites is a unique and innovative service that the WET Center can provide.
TEST, will combine the advantages of our location and our connections to surrounding community colleges, providing educational opportunities for their students and demonstration locations for our start-ups. We currently have three confirmed sites and are looking to continue conversations with more community colleges, CSU’s, and UC’s for expansion of this program.
TEST's Vision
Getting Market Ready
Technology Evaluation, Support and Testing (TEST) are the key components of this program. Pilot demonstrations are a vital factor in the journey of going from lab scale to ready for market.
Our Unique LOcation
Located in Central California, we are surrounded by a heavy agriculture presence and receive abundant attention from that industry. The more locations we can offer our companies for demonstrations, the more chance they will have at success.
Long-term Sucess
More locations will also increase the variety of crops, climates and soil types companies can test their technology on to prove that they have an adequate solution for a pain point or could result in a profitable gain for the consumer.
