TechTown, Detroit ’s only research and technology park, has welcomed five new tenants since celebrating its first anniversary this summer. The organization’s staff has been forced out of private offices and into cubicles in order to meet entrepreneurs’ demand for space in TechOne, TechTown’s first incubator facility.  

“As TechTown continues to gain momentum, we are delighted with the ever-widening diversity in the types of technology companies we attract,” says Howard Bell, TechTown’s executive director. 

 
“Having an alternative energy company sign a lease in the same month as a biomedical venture confirms that our facility is well equipped to accommodate all kinds of technology research, services and production.”  

 

TechTown’s new tenants are:  

Alternative Power Supply: A renewable energy systems supplier that integrates distributes and installs complete wind and solar power systems for small to medium-size businesses, institutions and residences.
