TEAM TN Summit January 2024

About this event

TEAM TN invites its partners to the first-ever TEAM TN Summit, January 30-31, in Cleveland, Tennessee, at Wacker Commons, located at the PIE Innovation Center.

TEAM TN working group leaders will update partners on their progress toward positioning Tennessee at the leading edge of transportation electrification and digitization. Additionally, attendees will learn first-hand about industry technology trends and provide feedback on how Tennessee can capture these trends to benefit our diverse communities, workforce, entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems and economy.

Subsequent Summits will highlight different focus areas of TEAM TN’s working groups and provide opportunities for community feedback and networking. Summit feedback will inform TEAM TN’s strategic roadmap to the National Science Foundation.

As you travel to the TEAM TN Summit, we invite you to think about three things in the quiet of your car, bus or plane. First, what are your needs related to TEAM TN’s mission? Second, what benefits does your entity expect to receive if TEAM TN wins the $160M? Lastly, how can you contribute to this process if we win $160M – as an individual and the entity you represent?

5 p.m. - Reception at Smart Factory Institute

Day Two

How would you spend $160 million? In the morning, TEAM TN working groups and partners will convene for a brief tour of the PIE Center (connected to Wacker Commons) and then meet in small groups to develop plans, programs and partnerships for spending $160 million in federal funds.
