SARTA's Tech Tree, Part 1
By Clifton B. Parker
See Part 2 of Series
Today, a growing innovation culture is visible in the Sacramento region, particularly at the grassroots level where tech spinoffs are offering unprecedented opportunities for professionals, employers and investors. Nurturing these entrepreneurial sparks is the reason the Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance created a “genealogy map” of mother companies and their progeny.
In this three-part series, we’ll look at how the map works for investors and enterprising tech executives, how communities and cities are tapping into the evolving spinoff landscape, and how UC Davis has been a prolific source for startups and research connections.
