FEATURED PARTNER
AUVSI Cascade Chapter is fortunate to have a great selection of partnerships that help promote STEM, and the
unmanned
systems and robotics markets.
This month we'd like to introduce you to the Gorge Technology Alliance and their long-time Executive Director, Jessica Metta.
The Columbia River Gorge Technology Alliance (Gorge Tech Alliance, GTA) is a professional industry association developed to support the high-tech industry of the bi-state Columbia River Gorge region covering the counties of Hood River, Wasco and Sherman in Oregon and Skamania and Klickitat in Washington.
Since 2005, the GTA has worked to help start, grow, expand and sustain high-tech companies in the Gorge. They regularly bring the tech business community together for educational and networking events and connect partners to address issues of importance to the tech sector, including strong support for STEM education. With about 120 members and sponsors representing about 3000 employees in the Gorge, the GTA is the regionally-recognized link to the technology community. The Gorge tech industry covers a breadth of technologies, from software to advanced manufacturing, with the largest subsector dedicated to unmanned aerial systems. This strong cluster has led to important partnerships and linkages between the Gorge Tech Alliance and Cascade AUVSI.
The GTA has been led by Executive Director Jessica Metta since 2008. Her work has successfully grown and strengthened the organization as the tech industry in the region has grown and developed. Jessica launched the GTA's youth robotics program and STEM college scholarship, as well as new events and offerings to support Gorge tech member companies. Learn more about the GTA at:
