SARTA in Action
In keeping with our mission, some of SARTA’s initiatives to provide access to capital, education, and business development include:
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.

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.

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.
