Port Technologies Development Center

Founded by the San Pedro and Wilmington Chambers of Commerce in collaboration with both the Port and City of Los Angeles, the Port Technologies Development Center is a public benefit, non-profit technology center and business incubator designed to create a new "green collar" job base of Los Angeles' harbor area communities to replace the loss of the are's former mainstay industries...fishing, canning, shipbuilding/repair.

The Port Technologies Development Center has been in the planning stages for the past nearly two years, however, several recent milestones such as the formation of the Center's five-member board of directors, completion and submission of federal application for non-profit designation, retention of interim managing director, negotiation of a facility lease, successful fund development resulting in approximately $100,000 in grant dollars, and the near completion of a national search for the Center's permanent executive director.
