A clean energy future starts in Nevada 

Nevada Tech Hub is a consortium of government, industry, education and nonprofit organizations all aligning toward a common goal: leverage Nevada’s rich natural resources and develop a full-spectrum lithium economy within the state. The goal is to build a complete “Lithium Loop” – a closed-loop lithium economy that includes extraction, processing, battery manufacturing and recycling, positioning Nevada as a global leader in critical minerals and electric vehicle materials. By supporting innovation and bringing people together, this effort supports quality jobs and economic growth for Nevada, while building a resilient, sustainable future for the nation.

About the Regional Technology and Innovation Hub Program

Departments and agencies across the U.S. national government are committed to supporting the global competitiveness and growth of each designated Regional Technology and Hub by offering multiple benefits.  A ‘Tech Hubs Designation’ is an endorsement of a region’s plans to supercharge their respective technological industry to create jobs and strengthen U.S. economic and national security.  Some of the support and benefits that designated Tech Hubs will receive include follow-up funding, branding and technical assistance, foreign direct investment, intellectual property guidance, and export assistance.

Successful designated Tech Hubs will:

  • Build the Workforce of the Future: Create good jobs and attract the workforce and talent that will drive economic growth in regions across the county. 
  • Enable Growth: Encourage more innovative businesses to start and grow all throughout America.
  • Innovate and Commercialize: Test and deploy new technologies and build infrastructure necessary to translate innovation into economic growth.
  • Boost America’s Economic and National Security: Strengthen communities’ economic resilience and maintain our technological edge.

Tech Hubs are supercharging our existing innovation foundations, bringing together our premier research institutions with world class companies to create good-paying jobs in these communities, and ensuring the technological advances that define the next century are made in communities across America.
