SARTA in Action
In keeping with our mission, some of SARTA’s initiatives to provide access to capital, education, and business development include:
Technology Index
The SARTA Technology Index™ is an innovative tool that measures the health of the regional technology economy by tracking the leading 50 high tech and life science companies driving its growth. Just as the S&P 500 acts as a bellwether for corporate America, the SARTA Technology Index™ is a barometer of how technology companies in the nine county greater Sacramento region are performing.

CleanStart
CleanStart is an initiative of McClellan Technology Incubator (MTI) and Sacramento Area Regional Technology Alliance (SARTA) designed to accelerate the development of clean energy technology ventures within the Greater Sacramento Region. CleanStart was born out of an innovative needs assessment study that was jointly funded and managed by the California Energy Commission, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and the McClellan Technology Incubator.

Leadership Series
SARTA is committed to engaging members and the regional tech community in quality educational programming. This annual series of seminars is designed to help local technology companies participate to provide high return activities that promote the success of growing regional technology companies. Each session runs 1.5 -2.5 hours in length and will be attended in person. All seminars occur on the third Wednesday of the month at McClellan Technology Incubator and partner locations.

MTI
McClellan Technology Incubator (MTI) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established as part of an economic stimulus plan to assist emerging businesses in the technology sector with an emphasis on job creation for the region. During the 1980's and 1990's the Sacramento area was hit hard by the closure of three military institutions. The base closures meant the loss of thousands of jobs for the region. The loss of this skilled labor force provided the main impetus for the incubator's creation.

Executive Roundtables
SARTA offers by-invitation peer-to-peer networking groups. These successful forums allow CEOs to interact with other CEOs to provide support and advice in a collaborative manner. This year we plan to add two new CEO forums as a service to the medical technology and clean energy industry sectors as well as a new networking forum for engineers. Their discussions are kept confidential in order to facilitate an open exchange of ideas.

MedStart
Building on the success of its CleanStart program, SARTA announces MedStart, a new initiative in medical technology. MedStart will help build and strengthen a healthy medical technology industry in the Greater Sacramento Region and strive to be a repository of information and expertise for our vital medical technology sector. Claire Pomeroy, Vice Chancellor of UC Davis Human Health Sciences and Dean of the School of Medicine, kicked off the Lead Sponsor campaign with a pledge of $12,500.
