The Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Hartford, Connecticut, focused on accelerating the adoption of advanced manufacturing across industrial and defense supply chains. It collaborates with manufacturers, OEMs, technology providers, government, and academia to evaluate, implement, and integrate high-impact technologies into real-world production environments. Its work combines applied research, demonstrations, validation activities, and hands-on workforce training to translate innovative concepts into practical capabilities, with the goal of improving productivity, quality, and competitiveness while building a workforce prepared for future manufacturing challenges.
