About

The High Technology Foundation, based in Fairmont, West Virginia, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization functioning as an engine of economic change for growing a statewide, regional and national high-tech business sector. We have established a multi-faceted approach to maximize economic development and commercialization.

For over 30 years, the High Technology Foundation has been committed to building a stronger West Virginia.  The single biggest obstacle to a stronger West Virginia is the state’s lack of economic diversity.  Therefore, the High Technology Foundation’s mission is dedicated to facilitating economic diversification.

A fundamental principle of the High Technology Foundation’s economic diversification approach is the emphasis on the institutionalization of a new economic sector in the state that facilitates these key structural objectives:

 
  • It allows the state economy to participate competitively and sustainably in the largest segments of the national economy.
  • It enables greater participation by West Virginia citizens with a higher educational attainment – especially those in STEM.
  • It serves to attract the nation’s investment community by fostering an entrepreneurial culture and expanding the state’s innovation capacity.
  • It lends itself to the growth of an “ecosystem” of large, medium, small and start-up companies that allows the efficient expansion and operation of a competitive business environment based upon capitalistic principles.
