CENTRAL COAST TECH BRIDGE
The California Central Coast Tech Bridge (C2TB), based in Monterey, CA, is uniquely situated to become a leading innovation hub due to its direct access to operational requirements, students, and faculty who understand the needs of Sailors and Marines — as well as its proximity to Silicon Valley.
How We Work
Working with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), C2TB acts as a nexus for collaboration among industry, DoD, academia, national labs, and other agencies — offering direct access to Camp Roberts, the ocean, and cyber ranges for field experimentation and beyond. We activate our ecosystem with the help of two PIA agreements, offering greater speed and agility for industry partners. As part of NPS’s curriculum, we also provide opportunities for students to work on relevant projects, helping to deepen their technical acumen and understanding of industry best practices.
Together, we enhance innovation and accelerate development of operationally relevant capabilities for the Department of the Navy.
Focus Areas
We are uniting industry and Naval resources on technology solutions in these key areas.
- Applied AI / ML
- Automation / Robotics
- Autonomous Systems
- Data Analytics
- Power / Energy
- Meteorology
Meet the leaders who keep our Tech Bridge moving forward
