<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The key to RPI’s Emerging Ventures Ecosystem is that companies never graduate from the incubator because business development and iteration is never finalized. Companies supported by EVE are always welcome to come back and ask for assistance in making new connections with the large international network of individuals. RPI’s large alumni network serves as a virtual incubator in the sense that the network is leveraged to help grow companies as they experience the transition from technology ideas and intellectual property to commercialization through their education. </span></span>

''<span style="font-size: larger;">Startup Tech Valley - Where Entrepreneurs and the Community Come Together</span>''

''<span style="font-size: larger;">Tech Valley Center of Gravity</span>''
<span style="font-size: larger;">The Tech Valley Center of Gravity is a federation of makers, hackers, crafters, and artists who share camaraderie, space, and resources to do our tinkering. We have a permanent makerspace, several satellite locations, and a community of local individuals and organizations to share and support them. We are based in downtown Troy, NY, and sponsor events all over the New York State Capital Region.</span>
<span style="font-size: larger;">Our primary goal is to build a community around the idea of doing for ourselves, rather than just passively consuming, and learning how the arts, crafts, and technologies that surround us every day work, along the way. We also aim to create a network of contacts for small business and start-ups in the Capital Region to connect with local leaders, like-minded businesses and individuals, and tools and resources they might not otherwise have access to.</span>
