Ben Franklin Technology Partners
The Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern PA (BFTP/CNP) provide funding and business support services to emerging tech-based start-ups and existing manufacturers in their 32-county footprint.
Located in Innovation Park, BFTP/CNP's funding is the financial bridge that links the assets of an entrepreneur to future investment opportunities from banks, angel, or venture capital groups. BFTP/CNP’s business support services help companies grow so they are well-positioned to receive follow-on financing.
Their goal is to create synergy among business, industry, and higher education representatives to help stimulate economic growth. Their investments go to the region’s entrepreneurs, small business owners, and existing manufacturing-based companies that want to produce a new technology-based product or improve an existing process. Ultimately when they succeed, we all succeed. The region gains expertise in an emerging technology and new, high-paying jobs are created.
