401TB Advanced Materials & Technology Center
The 401 Tech Bridge Advanced Materials & Technology Center
1170 East Main Rd, Portsmouth, RI 02871
Coming in late 2022.
Our 17,000 square-foot facility in Portsmouth, Rhode Island will offer neutral lab and equipment space for industry, government, and academic partners to collaboratively problem-solve, develop concepts, build and test prototypes, model concepts, and present solutions.
Companies will be able to work with cross-functional teams to develop new ideas, and large entities can sponsor projects that leverage the expertise of small companies, universities and others. This site will help also support and accelerate the growth of three key industries in the state of Rhode Island and its surrounding region—composites, textiles and undersea technology—and is expected to create 400 high-value Rhode Island jobs.
The facility will also offer presentation and training facilities, temporary office and workspaces, event hosting, and trainings for technology solution providers.
“This is another positive step toward developing a strong, sustainable technological ecosystem here in Rhode Island. This [Center] will help 401 Tech Bridge and its partners build on their success and attract more opportunities for entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation.”
– Senator Jack Reed (D-RI)
