In order to remain a powerhouse in the automotive space, Tennessee is ready to invest in and leverage our state’s assets in research & development and human capital to position Tennessee as the premier destination for mobility and automotive research, innovation and the next generation of high-quality jobs.

Phase One: Mobility and Automotive Discovery

The Transportation Network Growth Opportunity (TNGO) initiative, under TNECD and in partnership with Launch Tennessee and Team Tennessee, is an economic development tool designed to connect statewide research assets, communities and talent to spark new research and innovation in this sector.

The TNGO Mobility and Automotive Discovery aims to partner communities, companies and/or economic development applicants with researchers across the state to provide innovative solutions to the Volunteer State’s most pressing mobility and transportation-related issues.

The deadline for phase one is February 2, 2024. Learn more and apply at https://tngo.tnecd.com/
